Rule 9015-1 JURY TRIALS

(a) Issues triable of right by jury shall, if demanded, be by jury.

(b) Any party may demand a trial by jury of any issue triable by a jury by-

(1) serving upon the other parties a demand therefor in writing at any time after the commencement of the action and not later than ten (10) days after the service of the last pleading directed to such issue, and

(2) filing the demand as required by Fed.R.Bankr.P. 5005. Such demand may be indorsed upon a pleading of a party. If so indorsed, the demand shall be set forth separately, at the end of the pleading.

(c) In the demand, a party may specify the issues which the party wishes so tried; otherwise the party shall be deemed to have demanded trial by jury for all the issues so triable. If the party has demanded trial by jury for only some of the issues, any other party within ten (10) days after service of the demand or such lesser times as the Court may order, may serve a demand for trial by jury of any other or all of the issues of fact in the action.

(d) The party making the demand for a trial by jury, shall in the request state the legal authority for a trial by jury.

(e) The failure of a party to serve and file a demand for jury trial may constitute a waiver by the party of a trial by jury. A demand for trial by jury may not be withdrawn without the consent of the parties.

(f) If the right to a jury trial applies and a timely demand has been filed under Rule 38(b), Fed.R.Civ.P., the parties may consent to have a jury trial conducted by the Bankruptcy Judge under 28 U.S.C. §157(e) by jointly or separately filing a statement of consent no later than thirty (30) days following the initial demand for jury trial.

(g) Settlement or other disposition of the case other than by trial must be given to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in writing not less than three (3) days prior to the jury trial setting. Upon failure to give the required notice, the Clerk shall assess jury costs against the parties and counsel, not to exceed thirty dollars ($30.00) for each prospective juror reporting for service.
