Text

(a) NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL; LIMITATIONS. A creditor may with-
draw a proof of claim by filing a notice of withdrawal. But unless
the court orders otherwise after notice and a hearing, a creditor
may not withdraw a proof of claim if:
(1) an objection to it has been filed;
(2) a complaint has been filed against the creditor in an ad-
versary proceeding; or
(3) the creditor has accepted or rejected the plan or has par-
ticipated significantly in the case.
(b) NOTICE OF THE HEARING; ORDER PERMITTING WITHDRAWAL. No-
tice of the hearing must be served on:
• the trustee or debtor in possession; and
• any creditors’ committee elected under §705(a) or ap-
pointed under §1102.
The court’s order permitting a creditor to withdraw a proof of
claim may contain any terms and conditions the court considers
proper.
(c) EFFECT OF WITHDRAWING A PROOF OF CLAIM. Unless the court
orders otherwise, an authorized withdrawal constitutes with-
drawal of any related acceptance or rejection of a plan.
