SLR 4-5.035: ORDERS BY PREVAILING PARTY; PRESENTING JUDGMENTS AND ORDERS FOR JUDICIAL SIGNATURE

ORDERS FOR JUDICIAL SIGNATURE (1) Every motion submitted by stipulation or ex parte — including motions for default, motions for a temporary restraining order, orders to show cause, or other provisional process — must be submitted with a corresponding order for judicial signature. Contested motions should not be submitted with a proposed order at the time of filing. Instead, a proposed order should be submitted after the judge’s ruling on the motion. Unless otherwise ordered, after a motion ruling it is the responsibility of the prevailing party to draft an order incorporating the ruling and to submit it to the proper judge, accompanied by proof of service on all other parties not in default in compliance with UTCR 5.100. (2) Any judgment or order requiring the signature of a pro tem judge, reference judge, or senior judge not employed by the court shall be directed to the private business office of that judge unless that judge directs otherwise. Judicial officers receiving proposed orders or judgments at their private business offices will forward the signed orders to Presiding Court for filing. Judgments or orders requiring the signature of a referee employed by the court shall be directed to that referee’s office at the court. (3) All judgments, orders, and other documents requiring the signature of a specific judge shall be sent directly to that judge. The judge’s name must appear in parentheses in the case caption below the document title. Orders and judgments submitted to Presiding Court ex parte should not contain a judge’s name in the case caption.
