Submitting a Proposed Order
Proposed orders on routine motions, such as motions for extensions
of time, are unnecessary. Proposed orders should not be submitted for
dispositive motions. Proposed Orders are technically not to be
"filed." Rather, they are to be "submitted" by e-mail 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 Proposed_Order_Maldonado@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
Microsoft Word. Such proposed orders should also be served on all parties.
Submitting a proposed order
electronically is not a substitute for filing a motion, even if the order is
agreed. A proposed order may only be submitted after the corresponding motion
has been filed, unless the Court has already given prior leave to submit a
proposed order without
