"Colorado Bankruptcy Rules"
All Colorado bankruptcy courts incorporate federal rules. In particular, the federal rules of evidence, civil procedure,
criminal procedure, and
sentencing apply. Additionally, all courts require compliance with local rules which apply within the
district, and division, if any. Deviation from applicable rules subjects a case to dismissal.
| The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure apply in addition to the Code. These rules
provide administrative detail for the implementation of the intention of the Code. Additionally, local rules
are adopted by each court. Many local rules are based upon the Uniform Bankruptcy Local Rules. Further rules
are commonly created for location specific concerns, and may apply only in one district, division, or court. |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
