(a)     Matrix. Any list of creditors, schedule of liabilities or list of equity security holders required to be filed pursuant to FRBP 1007 shall be accompanied by a matrix containing the name and address of the United States trustee and all creditors and other parties in interest. Each such matrix shall be submitted in proper form and typeface compatible with the optical scanner used in conjunction with the court's automated system (BANCAP). The two letter state identifier as prescribed by the United States Post Office shall be used with no periods included. Zip codes MUST appear on the same line as the city/state.

          (b)     Matrix of Twenty Largest Unsecured Creditors. The list of the twenty largest unsecured creditors filed pursuant to FRBP 1007(d) shall be accompanied by a separate matrix, in proper form, as set forth in subsection (a) above, listing only those unsecured creditors.

          (c)     Certification of Matrix. Whenever a matrix is required to be submitted pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) of this rule, subsection (b) of Local Bankruptcy Rule 1003-1, subsection (d) of Local Bankruptcy Rule 1009-1, subsection (c) of Local Bankruptcy Rule 1015-1, subsection (d) of Local Bankruptcy Rule 1019-1 or as otherwise required by the court, the proponent or attorney for the proponent must certify that the matrix contains the names, addresses and zip codes of all creditors and entities which appear in the schedules of liabilities, list of creditors, list of equity security holders, list of twenty largest unsecured creditors or amendments thereto. The certification shall conform substantively to the following:

          I (we), ____________________________, the attorney for the debtor/petitioner (or, if appropriate, the debtor(s) or petitioners(s)) hereby certify under the penalties of perjury that the above/attached mailing matrix has been compared to and contains the names, addresses and zip codes of all persons and entities, as they appear on the schedules of liabilities/list of creditors/list of equity security holders, or any amendment thereto filed herewith.

                                                                                                    _____________________________
                                                                                                        Attorney for Debtor/Petitioner
                                                                                                            (Debtor(s)/Petitioner(s))
 
 
 

          The clerk may rely upon the matrix as filed, and any amendments thereto, for purposes of providing notice as required by these Local Bankruptcy Rules and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

          (d)     Noncompliance. The failure to comply with the requirements of this rule may subject the case to dismissal.
 
 

          This rule requires that matrices be compatible with the optical scanner used with the court's automated case management system (BANCAP). Typefaces compatible with BANCAP include Courier 10, Prestige Elite and Letter Gothic. A BANCAP information packet is available from the clerk's office.

          Refer to Local Bankruptcy Rule 9034-1(c) for the addresses of the United States trustee.

          Although FRBP 5005(a)(1) requires the clerk to accept papers for filing which are not in proper form, subsection (d) of this rule makes clear that the court may take appropriate action to enforce this rule.
