Proposed Orders are not to be filed on the docket via CM/ECF; Proposed Orders are to be submitted to the Judge as an attachment to an e-mail sent to Proposed_Order_Perry@ilnd.uscourts.gov. The subject line of the e-mail must include the case number and name, the docket number of the corresponding motion, and the title of the order that is proposed. Opposing counsel should be copied on the email. All such documents must be submitted to the court in Microsoft Word format.

Unless the Court directs otherwise, a party must file a motion asking the Court to enter the proposed order. Submitting a draft order to the Court’s proposed order inbox is not a substitute for a motion.

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 require Court approval before they become effective.
