(a) Orders Grantable by Clerk. The Clerk of Court is authorized to grant, sign, and enter the following orders without further direction by the Court. Any orders so entered may be suspended, altered, or rescinded by the Court for cause shown:

(1) Orders on consent satisfying a judgment or an order for the payment of money, annulling bonds, and exonerating sureties;

(2) Orders entering judgments on verdicts or decisions of the Court in circumstances authorized in Fed. R. Civ. P. 58, and orders entering defaults for failure to plead or otherwise defend, in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 55, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; and

(3) Any other orders which pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 77(c) do not require allowance or order of the Court.

(b) Notice of Court Orders and Judgments. Immediately upon the entry of an order or judgment in an action within the Electronic Filing System, the Clerk of Court will transmit to filing users a Notice of Electronic Filing ("NEF"). Electronic transmission of the NEF constitutes the Notice required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 77(d). The Clerk of Court must give notice in paper form to a person who has not registered for electronic filing and has not consented to electronic service by other means.
