WITHDRAWALS

Overview:

          A plaintiff may withdraw an adversary complaint without an order if:

• No answer is filed; or
• An answer is filed and the plaintiff obtains consent or a signed stipulation has been filed.
  
  If an answer to a complaint has been filed and there is no consent/stipulation to the plaintiff’s withdrawal of the adversary proceeding, then an order is required.
  
  In all cases (regardless of whether an answer has been filed or there is consent/stipulation), if the request is to withdraw an Objection to Discharge, notice must be given and an order from the court is required.
