| 11/21/2024 | 52 | ORDER. THIS MATTER comes before the Court pursuant to the Voluntary Petition filed by Oklahoma Forge, LLC, the subject of this involuntary case, at Docket No. 47. The Court directs the parties to In re Premier General Holdings, Ltd., 427 B.R. 592 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 2010). That case outlined an alleged debtor's possible responses to an involuntary petition as follows: 1. Consent to the entry of an order for relief in the involuntary case, followed, on request, by a conversion of the case under § 706(a) to the chapter of its choice; or 2. File a new voluntary case under the chapter of its choice, followed, on request, by a consolidation of the voluntary and involuntary cases under the first filed case number under Fed. R. Bank. P. 1015(a). Moreover, a voluntary case is commenced under § 301 by the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court under a new case number, not on the docket of a separate open case. The Court finds the filing of the Voluntary Petition in this case, at Docket No. 47, to be procedurally improper. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Oklahoma Forge, LLC is given until Monday, November 25, 2024, to proceed in compliance with this Court's procedure for converting an existing case or initiating a new bankruptcy case. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, in the absence of such compliance, the Voluntary Petition, filed by Oklahoma Forge, LLC, at Docket No. 47, shall be stricken. BY THE COURT: Chief Judge Terrence L. Michael. This entry is the Official Order of the Court. (RE: related document(s)47 Petition filed, Declaration, List of Creditors Who Have the 20 Largest Unsecured Claims, Disclosure of Compensation of Attorney for Debtor, Equity Security Holders, Verification of Creditor List, Corporate Ownership Statement).
