Rule 58 Entry of Judgment

Subject to the provisions of Rule 54(b): (1) upon a general verdict of a jury, or upon a decision by the court that a party shall recover only a sum certain or costs or that all relief shall be denied, the court or the clerk, upon direction of the court, shall forthwith enter the judgment; (2) upon a decision by the court granting other relief, or upon a special verdict or a general verdict accompanied by answers to interrogatories, the court shall promptly enter judgment. Every judgment must be set forth on a separate document distinct from any findings of fact, conclusions of law, opinion, or memorandum. Entry of the judgment shall not be delayed, nor the time for appeal extended, for the taxing of costs or the award of fees. Judgments for the payment of money must be in the form required by Civil Rule 58.2.
