Order Granting Debtors Expedited Motion For Order Directing Joint Administration {FLMB OGMJA}

ORDER GRANTING DEBTOR’S EXPEDITED MOTION FOR ORDER DIRECTING JOINT ADMINISTRATION OF CHAPTER 11 CASES PURSUANT TO BANKRUPTCY RULE 1015(B). This form is used in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida when a debtor (or multiple related debtors) has filed more than one Chapter 11 bankruptcy case and seeks to have those cases jointly administered under a single lead case for efficiency. Joint administration allows for the consolidation of court dockets, case management, and certain filings while maintaining separate financial records and creditor claims for each individual debtor. The form authorizes the Clerk of Court to create a single docket under the designated lead case and provides guidance on which documents should still be filed separately for each debtor. It also ensures that filings and orders pertaining to specific debtors clearly identify which debtor they affect. Importantly, joint administration does not merge the debtors' assets or liabilities; it is purely procedural unless the court later orders substantive consolidation. www.FormsWorkflow.com
