Local Rule 7054-3: Procedures for Submission of Orders After Hearing

7054-3. Procedures for Submission of Orders After Hearing.

(a) Orders Approved as to Form. Where all opposing parties approve the form of any final or proposed order, judgment, findings of fact, or conclusion of law ("Proposed Order"), compliance with LBR 7054-3(b) is excused. The parties must indicate approval as to form of the Proposed Order by signing "approved as to form" at the end of the text of the Proposed Order.

(b) Lodgment of Orders. Where any opposing party does not approve the form of any Proposed Order or where the prevailing party elects not to seek approval, the Proposed Order must be lodged (the "Lodged Order") and a Notice of Lodgment conforming to the Administrative Procedures must be filed, which includes a copy of the Proposed Order as an Exhibit. The Notice of Lodgment must inform the opposing party that any objection to the form or content of the Lodged Order, and an alternative Proposed Order, must be filed and served within 7 days from the date of service of the Proposed Order.

(c) Opposition to Lodged Order. Any party who opposes the Lodged Order must file any objection, an alternate Proposed Order, and a Document that identifies by redline or other reasonable method the changes from the Lodged Order within 7 days from the date of service of the original Notice of Lodgment. A copy of the proposed Alternative Order must be attached as an Exhibit to the objection. No further Documents regarding the Lodged Order will be considered except upon leave of Court.
