UTCR 5.060: STIPULATED AND EX PARTE MATTERS

(1) A judicial district may adopt a local rule regarding specific stipulated or ex parte matters for which the documents must be presented conventionally as defined in UTCR 21.010 and may not be electronically filed. SLR 2.501 is reserved for judicial districts to adopt a local rule for that purpose.

(2) Any stipulated or ex parte matter that may be presented conventionally may be delivered by mail or messenger to the trial court administrator for distribution to a judge for signature. An ex parte default, a stipulated order, or a stipulated judgment that may be presented conventionally also may be personally presented to a judge by the attorney or the attorney’s agent. Other types of ex parte matters personally presented to a judge must be presented by the attorney.

(3) A motion for an ex parte order must contain the term “ex parte” in the caption and must be accompanied by a proposed order.

(4) Ex parte matters that are presented conventionally shall be presented anytime during court hours, except as modified by Supplementary Local Rule (SLR) promulgated pursuant to UTCR 1.050. Until such local rules are adopted, stipulated and ex parte matters may be personally presented anytime during court hours.
