Plain-English Summary
A party can ask to be excused from the docket management program because a bankruptcy case affects the civil action. That claim must come with a sworn affidavit stating the date the bankruptcy petition was filed, the bankruptcy court’s district and address, the debtor’s name, and the bankruptcy case number. The party claiming the exemption, or that party’s attorney, must sign the affidavit under oath.
