Local Rule LRCiv 58.1: JUDGMENTS

LRCiv 58.1 JUDGMENTS

(a) Entry of Judgment. Judgments will be entered in accordance with Rule 58, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If the judgment is one which requires settling by the District Judge or Magistrate Judge, and if such judgment is approved as to form by opposing counsel, the judgments may thereupon be signed by the District Judge or Magistrate Judge. If the adversary does not approve the form, the matter shall proceed to final settlement as if it were a finding as specified in Rule 52.1, Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Any default judgment which requires the signature of the Court shall be submitted by the person obtaining the judgment.

(b) Interest on Award of Money. When a judgment provides for an award of money, the form of judgment prepared must provide a space wherein the rate of interest can be entered by the Court on the date of entry at the rate then authorized pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961 (a). If a rate of interest other than provided for by 28 U.S.C. § 1961 (a) is required by contractual agreement, other statutory requirement, or by stipulation of the parties, the amount will be affirmatively stated in the judgment.
