DO NOT SUBMIT Proposed Orders to Judge Guzman's email address unless the court has specifically directed the parties to do so, usually in open court or by arrangement with the Courtroom Deputy.    If permission is granted follow the instructions below:   

Proposed Orders are technically not to be "filed." Rather, they are to be "submitted" to the judge to consider, to modify, if appropriate, and to enter electronically. For example, proposed orders such as stipulated protective orders require court approval before actually being given full effect. To prevent confusion, such proposed orders must be attached to an e-mail sent to the e-mail address of the assigned judge, Proposed_Order_Guzman@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, which is a "Save As" option in most word processing software. Such proposed orders should also be served on all parties.
