In re Khachikyan, 335 B.R. 121 (9th Cir. BAP 2005)

Rule 9014(d), included in a 2002 amendment to the rule, is intended to require a trial when

there is a genuine factual dispute. Furthermore, “[a]s a strategic matter, where one wants

discovery in a contested matter, it is generally too late to wait to the day of the hearing on the

merits to request to conduct discovery in the future.”
