Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1019

(a) FILING VARIOUS DOCUMENTS; FILING A STATEMENT OF INTENTION.

(1) Lists, Inventories, Schedules, Statements of Financial Affairs.

Unless the court orders otherwise, when a Chapter 11, 12, or 13

case is converted or reconverted to Chapter 7, the lists, inventories, schedules, and statements of financial affairs previously filed are considered filed in the Chapter 7 case. If they

have not been previously filed, the debtor must comply with

Rule 1007 as if an order for relief had been entered on an involuntary petition on the same date as the order directing that

the case continue under Chapter 7.

(2) Statement of Intention. A statement of intention, if required, must be filed within 30 days after the conversion order

is entered or before the first date set for the meeting of creditors, whichever is earlier. The court may, for cause, extend

the time to file only on motion filed—or on oral request made

during a hearing—before the time has expired. Notice of an extension must be given to the United States trustee and to any

committee, trustee, or other party as the court orders.

(B) a proof of claim;

(C) a complaint objecting to discharge; or

(D) a complaint to determine whether a specific debt

may be discharged.

(2) When a New Time Does Not Begin. No new time to file begins when a case is reconverted to Chapter 7 after a previous

conversion to Chapter 11, 12, or 13 if the time to file in the

original Chapter 7 case has expired.

(3) New Time to Object to a Claimed Exemption. When a case is

converted to Chapter 7, a new time begins under Rule 4003(b)

to object to a claimed exemption unless:

(A) more than 1 year has elapsed since the court issued

the first order confirming a plan under Chapter 11, 12, or

13; or

(B) the case was previously pending in Chapter 7 and

time has expired to object to a claimed exemption in the

original Chapter 7 case.

(c) PROOF OF CLAIM FILED BEFORE CONVERSION. A proof of claim

filed by a creditor before conversion is considered filed in the

Chapter 7 case.

(d) T URNING OVER DOCUMENTS AND PROPERTY. Unless the court

orders otherwise, after a trustee in the Chapter 7 case qualifies or

assumes duties, the debtor in possession—or the previously acting

control.

a schedule of unpaid debts incurred after the petition was

filed but before conversion and include the name and address of each claim holder; and

(B) within 30 days after conversion, the trustee must file

and send to the United States trustee a final report and account.

(3) Converting a Case to Chapter 7 After a Plan Has Been Confirmed. Unless the court orders otherwise, if a case under Chapter 11, 12, or 13 is converted to a case under Chapter 7 after a

plan is confirmed, the debtor must file:

(A) a schedule of property that was acquired after the petition was filed but before conversion and was not listed in

the final report and account, except when a Chapter 13

case is converted to Chapter 7 and § 348(f)(2) does not apply;

by the court, whichever is later.
