Local Rule L.R. 9050: Proposed Orders.

L.R. 9050 - Proposed Orders. A. Time for Submission. Except for proposed orders from the Trustee or United States Trustee's Office and orders on Negative Notice, a proposed order must be submitted at the time of filing any motion, application, pleading, or other request for relief. Orders on matters that may be heard on Negative Notice must be submitted to the Court after expiration of the last date for response or after hearing, if any. The Certification of No Response must be part of the proposed order. Except in a Chapter 13 case (unless otherwise ordered by the Court), any order submitted to the Court after hearing is an affirmative representation to the Court by the party tendering the order that the order has been circulated to all counsel who appeared at the hearing and that there are no objections to the content of the order. If agreement cannot be reached regarding a proposed order, the party tendering the order must send a letter to the Court with a copy e-mailed to any opposing counsel advising the Court that agreement has not been reached and providing opposing counsel seventy-two (72) hours from the time the letter is e-mailed to submit a competing order. Unless otherwise directed by the Court or its staff, or a federal rule so requires (e.g., Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4001), proposed orders must not be filed on the docket either on their own or as attachments to other documents.

B. Content. The title of the order should describe the motion, application, pleading, or other request to which it relates by title and should indicate whether the order grants or denies the requested relief. The caption of the order must include the date, time, and location of the hearing on the related motion, application, pleading, or other request. The text of the order must be sufficiently descriptive to clearly state the relief granted, including a description of any property subject to the order. The order must not contain any "retention of jurisdiction" language. The end of each order must: 1. contain the name and address of the person who prepared the order; 2. list the names and addresses of those to be served with the order; however, the name and address of the person who prepared the order need not be included a second time; and 3. contain a signature line and date line for the judge. The signature line for the judge must not be on a page by itself or otherwise apart from the text of the order.

C. Service in Non-Chapter 11 Cases. Except in Chapter 11 cases or when otherwise directed by the Court, the Clerk of Court's Office will serve all orders unless otherwise directed.

D. Service in Chapter 11 Cases. In all Chapter 11 cases, the Court will ordinarily direct the prevailing party to serve the order and file a certificate of service. All orders in Chapter 11 cases must contain the following statement immediately before the judge's signature line: No later than two (2) business days after the date of this order, (name of party) is directed to serve a copy of the order on all parties listed below and is directed to file a certificate of service no later than twenty-four (24) hours after service.

E. Valuation of Property. To properly gather required statistical information concerning the valuation of property as compared to the value of a claim, any proposed order submitted concerning (1) a "Trustee's Motion to Determine Value of Property," or (2) a "Motion Setting Property Value" must include a statement whether the property valuation is below the value of the claim. This statement must be added as the last paragraph of the proposed order.
