Rule 100.4 Standing Orders
(a) Issuance.
Standing orders shall be issued by the Chief Judge.
(b) Subject Matter.
Standing orders are used to address matters of court business, including court policies and administrative matters, not adequately addressed by orders in individual cases but not appropriate for inclusion in the local rules because of improbability of recurrence, level of importance, or degree of interest to the Bar or public, or for other reasons.
(c) Form.
Each standing order shall bear a heading identifying it as such and specifying the subject matter to which it relates. Standing orders shall be given such additional identifiers, including docket numbers, as the clerk determines are appropriate to facilitate orderly storage of and access to such orders.
(d) Posting and Retention.
Standing orders shall be posted for review by the public and court personnel and, when appropriate, archived in such manner as the Chief Judge directs in consultation with the clerk.
(e) Annual Review.
The Local Rules committee shall review the court's standing orders each year to determine whether any should be converted into Local Rules, amended, or vacated. The committee shall report the results of its review, including any recommendations, to the Chief Judge.
