Parties should not file proposed orders. Rather, proposed orders are to be "submitted" to the judge to consider, modify (if appropriate) and enter electronically. Such proposed orders must be attached to an e-mail sent to Proposed_Order_Harjani@ilnd.uscourts.gov. The subject line of the e-mail must include the case number and name, the docket number of the corresponding motion, if any, and the title of the order that is proposed. All such documents must be submitted to the court in a format compatible with Word. All parties should be copied on such email.

Submitting a proposed order electronically is not a substitute for filing a motion. A proposed order may only be submitted after the corresponding motion has been filed unless the Court has given prior leave to submit a proposed order without a motion.
