Order Confirming Chapter 11 Plans
Due to the extent of the information now required in an order confirming a Chapter 11 Plan, the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia will no longer generate these orders from the hearing held notes. Attorneys will now be required to submit the order to CM Orders to be processed by the court. To ensure that all necessary statutory requirements are met, please use the National Form B15, Confirmation of Plan, which can be found on the court's website at www.vawb.uscourts.gov as well as the judiciary's website at www.uscourts.gov.
