Local Rule 9072-1: ORDERS — PROPOSED

RULE 9072-1. ORDERS — PROPOSED

(a) Generally. Unless otherwise excused by the court or these rules, every motion (whether in connection with a case, contested matter, or adversary proceeding) must be accompanied by a proposed order granting the requested relief and signed by the party or attorney who prepared the order. Every agreed order (whether in connection with a case, contested matter, or adversary proceeding) must be accompanied by an appropriate motion requesting entry of the order, unless the agreed order resolves a previously filed motion.

(b) Electronic Transmission. The proposed order must be filed as an attachment to the motion so that it can be electronically served on other interested parties through the ECF system. In addition, the proposed order must be separately uploaded to the court through the use of the court's E-Orders program, which is a separate system designed for uploading proposed orders to the court.

(c) Format of Proposed Orders.

(1) Top Margin. The top margin on the first page must be four inches.

(2) End of Order. The last line in the proposed order must be three pound symbols (###), centered in the middle of the line to indicate the end of the order.

(3) Signature by Judge. No signature line should be included for the judge because the judge will electronically sign the document in the blank space provided by the top margin on the first page.

(4) Signature by Attorney. All orders prepared by legal counsel must indicate the name of the law firm, name of the attorney responsible for the order, mailing address and telephone number for the firm and, if desired, the fax number and/or email address. This information must be included on the order, after the line containing the three pound symbols.

(d) Agreed Orders and Other Documents with Multiple Signatures. Documents filed electronically that require the signature of more than one party may be filed by— (1) submitting a scanned document containing all necessary signatures; (2) representing the consent of the other parties on the document; or (3) in any other manner approved by the court. Unless the agreed order resolves, in whole or in part, a previously filed motion, each agreed order must be accompanied by a motion requesting entry of the agreed order. As set forth in subdivision (b) above, the proposed agreed order must be filed as an attachment to the motion and uploaded into the E-Orders system. If the agreed order resolves a previously filed motion, the agreed order must be uploaded into the E-Orders system and linked to the previously filed motion.

(e) Judge's Electronic Signature. An electronic signature or facsimile signature of a judge on an order entered electronically by the court will have the same effect as the judge's handwritten signature on a paper copy of the order.

(f) Entry of Orders. The clerk will enter all signed orders, judgments, and decrees in the ECF system, which will constitute entry on the docket kept by the clerk under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5003(a) and 9021.
