Proposed Orders
Proposed orders should not be filed on the docket via CM/ECF, even if the parties agree on the language. Instead, they must be submitted in Microsoft Word format as an attachment to an email sent to: Proposed_Order_Hunt@ilnd.uscourts.gov. The subject line of the email must include the case name, case number, the proposed order’s title, and docket number to which the proposed order relates (e.g., Plaintiff v. Defendant; 23-cv-99999; Proposed Scheduling Order (re: ECF No. 99)). All parties must be copied on any email submitting proposed orders or otherwise served with a copy of the proposed order.
Unless the Court directs otherwise, a party must file a motion for entry of the proposed order. Submitting a draft to the
Court’s proposed order inbox is not a substitute for a motion.
The Court will consider proposed orders when ruling on motions, but
will modify (or disregard altogether) such proposed orders as it deems
appropriate, even if all parties agree on the language. Proposed
orders (such as stipulated protective orders) require Court approval
before they take effect.
Proposed orders on routine motions (e.g., extensions of time) and dispositive motions are unnecessary.
