LISTS, SCHEDULES AND STATEMENTS; TIME LIMITS
(a) Additional Requirements
In addition to complying with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and Official Forms, all schedules and statements shall:

(b)
Statement of Social Security Number Pursuant to Fed.R.Bankr. P. 1007 (f) a debtor who is an individual shall submit a verified statement that sets out the debtor’s social security number. In a voluntary case the debtor(s) shall submit the statement with the petition. In an involuntary case the debtor(s) shall submit the statement within fifteen (15) days after the entry of the order for relief.
(c)
Diskette in Addition to the List of Creditors In all cases filed conventionally a diskette listing the creditors in the case must be submitted. In Chapter 11 cases, the diskette must include equity security holders, if applicable. An exception to the requirement will be considered by the Court if a request for waiver is filed with the petition.
(d)
Extensions of Time Unless the debtor is a “small business” filing under Chapter 11, as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 101(51D), the UST and any panel trustee appointed in a case are deemed to have no objection to any original request for extension of time within which to file schedules or related documents if that request seeks an extension to no more than forty-five (45) days after the date the petition is filed. The Clerk need not send notice of any such request to the UST or any panel trustee. If the debtor is a small business filing under Chapter 11, then the UST is deemed to have no objection to any original request for an extension of time within which to file schedules or related documents if that request seeks an extension to no more than thirty (30) days after the date the petition is filed.
(e)
Dismissal
In any case where lists, schedules, and statements are not filed with the voluntary petition, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, or within such other period set by order, the Court shall enter an order of dismissal unless a motion for extension of time has been filed prior to the expiration of the period. The Court shall also enter an order of dismissal if the statement of social security number is not filed with the voluntary petition or within three

(3) days thereafter.

(f) Reinstatement

Parties filing a motion to reinstate or a motion to reopen a dismissed case for noncompliance shall submit the documents required contemporaneously with the motion to reinstate or the motion to reopen. The motion will not be considered unless the deficiency is cured or a showing of good cause is made as to why additional time is needed.
