Required use of Standardized Proposed Order Form, 11/01/2010

Friday, May 28, 2010

The court has been developing a mechanism, using a fillable order form, to expedite the processing of motions and orders. This work has involved personnel from the court's chambers and Clerk's staff. Further, the U. S. Trustee and Marilyn Marshall's office participated in a pilot program for more than a year.

The greatest impact on you, the electronic filer, is the requirement to use the standardized form for any proposed order. You will be required to submit a draft order using the court mandated fillable form which will result in an order that the court will be able to edit and approve when needed. A copy of the fillable order may be downloaded, from our Electronic Order Processing web page. Use of these forms is fundamental for the fully paperless, electronic processing of orders. The benefit to all participants is the efficient, accurate, and prompt posting of orders to the docket.

Use of these forms will be required for all motions and proposed orders presented on and after November 1, 2010.

The court has and will continue to prepare training materials and other resources to help you in this effort, but your questions and suggestions are appreciated. Please share your thoughts and questions by using our "E-Order Feedback" tool. You can find the feedback tool and much more information here. You are encouraged to work with the court's information technology and operational staff to test your documents and processing before the mandatory date. To become an "early adopter", please communicate your interest using the feedback tool
