     				)
      				)		ORDER OF ADOPTION

     The bankruptcy judges of this district requested a committee
of the bankruptcy bar to submit to the Bankruptcy Court
recommendations with regard to the amendment of the local
bankruptcy rules.  The committee finished its work in February of
1997.  Notice of the proposed amended bankruptcy rules and notice
of the comment period on such proposed rules was published in
several newspapers located throughout the District of Nebraska.

     The final date for comments was April 7, 1997.  Comments
received were reviewed and incorporated into the proposed amended
rules.

     The bankruptcy judges have now considered the proposed amended
rules and have determined that they are consistent with, but not
duplicative of Acts of Congress and do not prohibit or limit the
use of Official Forms.  The bankruptcy judges have determined that
the local rules do conform to the uniform numbering system
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States for
bankruptcy rules.  The bankruptcy judges now recommend to the
United States District Court that the final draft of the rules
submitted to the United States District Court on April 10, 1997,
should be adopted by the District Court pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr.
P. 9029.

     It is, therefore, ordered that the proposed amended local
rules of the Bankruptcy Court as submitted to the District Court
are adopted.

     The amended Nebraska Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure are
effective as of April 15, 1997.

DATED: April 15, 1997.
