All proposed orders and any orders drafted at the direction of the Court shall bear a caption which adequately summarizes the substance of the order. The order should not be on paper which bears the engraved or printed name of the firm submitting the order. All orders shall contain the signature of the party submitting the order for entry by the Court. The order should not contain language directing the Clerk to send certified copies to all parties in interest. Certified copies will be sent upon individual request and the payment of a fee as prescribed by 28 U.S.C. § 1930 (See Appendix A for current fee).

9071-1 Stipulations The Court will accept Stipulations entered into by the parties in interest in those matters where the parties have reached a voluntary agreement between themselves, the terms of which do not require approval by the Court. Such matters would include, for example, a stipulation extending the time to answer a complaint, providing for the taking of a deposition, or modifying procedures pertaining to discovery.
