Text

(a) TIMEANDMANNEROFSERVINGTHEOBJECTION.
(1) Time to Serve. An objection to a claim and a notice of the
objection must be filed and served at least 30 days before a
scheduled hearing on the objection or any deadline for the
claim holder to request a hearing.
(2) Whom to Serve; Manner of Service.
(A) Serving the Claim Holder. The notice—substantially
conforming to Form 420B—and objection must be served by
mail on the person the claim holder most recently des-
ignated to receive notices on the claim holder’s original or
latest amended proof of claim, at the address so indicated.
If the objection is to a claim of:

(i) the United States or one of its officers or agen-
cies, service must also be made as if it were a summons
and complaint under Rule 7004(b)(4) or (5); or
(ii) an insured depository institution as defined in
section 3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, service
must also be made under Rule 7004(h).
(B) Serving Others. The notice and objection must also be
served, by mail (or other permitted means), on:
• the debtor or debtor in possession;
• the trustee; and
• if applicable, the entity that filed the proof of
claim under Rule 3005.
(b) DEMANDING RELIEF THAT REQUIRES AN ADVERSARY PROCEED-
ING NOT PERMITTED. In objecting to a claim, a party in interest
must not include a demand for a type of relief specified in Rule
7001 but may include the objection in an adversary proceeding.
(c) LIMIT ON OMNIBUS OBJECTIONS. Unless the court orders other-
wise or (d) permits, objections to more than one claim may not be
joined in a single objection.
(d) OMNIBUS OBJECTION. Subject to (e), objections to more than
one claim may be joined in a single objection if:
(1) all the claims were filed by the same entity; or
(2) the objections are based solely on grounds that the
claims should be disallowed, in whole or in part, because they:
(A) duplicate other claims;
(B) were filed in the wrong case;
(C) have been amended by later proofs of claim;
(D) were not timely filed;
(E) have been satisfied or released during the case in ac-
cordance with the Code, applicable rules, or a court order;
(F) were presented in a form that does not comply with
applicable rules and the objection states that the objector
is therefore unable to determine a claim’s validity;
(G) are interests, not claims; or
(H) assert a priority in an amount that exceeds the maxi-
mum amount allowable under §507.
(e) REQUIRED CONTENT OF AN OMNIBUS OBJECTION. An omnibus
objection must:
(1) state in a conspicuous place that claim holders can find
their names and claims in the objection;
(2) list the claim holders alphabetically, provide a cross-ref-
erence to claim numbers, and, if appropriate, list claim hold-
ers by category of claims;
(3) state for each claim the grounds for the objection and
provide a cross-reference to the pages where pertinent infor-
mation about the grounds appears;
(4) state in the title the objector’s identity and the grounds
for the objections;
(5) be numbered consecutively with other omnibus objec-
tions filed by the same objector; and
(6) contain objections to no more than 100 claims.
(f) FINALITY OF AN ORDER WHEN OBJECTIONS ARE JOINED. When
objections are joined, the finality of an order regarding any claim
must be determined as though the claim had been subject to an in-
dividual objection.
