RULE 9072–1 Orders—Proposed

(a) Form and Content. A proposed order shall:

(1) Be sufficient in description to stand alone without reference to any motion, pleading, or other document (except for exhibits attached to the order itself).

(A) Orders authorizing the sale of real estate or otherwise affecting title to real estate (i.e., abandonments, avoidance of transfers, avoidance or imposition of liens, or adjudication of lien property) shall contain a legal description sufficient to pass title.

(B) Orders for sale of property of the estate or any interest therein shall state the identity of the purchaser and the price to be paid unless sale is to be at public auction, in which event the order shall state the date, time, and place of the auction.

(2) Include a minimum 3" margin at the top of the first page and shall not include blanks for signature of the Court or insertion of dates.

(b) Endorsement. All proposed orders shall include the endorsement of the proponent, all consenting parties (if applicable), any other party as directed by the Court at a hearing, and any other necessary party, including but not limited to the United States Trustee and/or any appointed trustee. However, if a proponent sends a proposed order to a necessary party and does not receive a response within five (5) business days, the proponent may submit the order without such endorsement and with a certification setting forth the date of transmission and failure to receive a response.

(c) Service List. With each proposed order: (1) when submitted, as provided for by an electronic means established by the Court, the order proponent shall file a list of parties, with mailing addresses indicated, who are to receive notice of entry of the same and shall comply with all other requirements set forth therein; or (2) except as the presiding judge in a case otherwise may direct, when submitted by conventional means, the order proponent shall file a list of parties, with mailing addresses indicated, who are to receive notice of entry of the same.

(d) Consent Orders. All proposed consent orders shall meet the requirements in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Local Bankruptcy Rule.

(e) Order After Trial, Hearing or Other Disposition of the Matter. Unless the Court specifies otherwise, the prevailing party shall, in addition to the requirements in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Local Bankruptcy Rule, prepare a proposed order and file the same with the Court within fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of the trial, hearing, or other disposition of the matter at issue. If an order is not filed within the required period, the Court may issue a Notice of Failure to Prosecute. If an order is still not filed in response to that notice, the Court may dismiss the original pleading or other paper without further notice.
