(a) NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL; LIMITATIONS. A creditor may withdraw a proof of claim by filing a notice of withdrawal. But unless the court orders otherwise after notice and a hearing, a creditor may not withdraw a proof of claim if:
(1) an objection to it has been filed;
(2) a complaint has been filed against the creditor in an adversary proceeding; or
(3) the creditor has accepted or rejected the plan or has participated significantly in the case.
(b) NOTICE OF THE HEARING; ORDER PERMITTING WITHDRAWAL. Notice of the hearing must be served on:
• the trustee or debtor in possession; and
• any creditors’ committee elected under § 705(a) or appointed under § 1102.
The court’s order permitting a creditor to withdraw a proof of claim may contain any terms and conditions the court considers proper.
(c) EFFECT OF WITHDRAWING A PROOF OF CLAIM. Unless the court orders otherwise, an authorized withdrawal constitutes withdrawal of any related acceptance or rejection of a plan.
