Chapter:
Part IX. General Provisions
- Form. The court may enter orders by text-only docket entry, entered by court employees authorized by the judge. Any order containing the judge's electronic signature has the same force and effect as if the judge affixed the judge's signature to a paper copy of the order and it was entered on the docket.
- Proposed Orders. A party may submit a proposed order as a PDF or in a format compatible with Microsoft Word by email to NEBml_Orders@neb.uscourts.gov. A proposed order should not be combined with or attached to a motion or filed on the docket. A proposed order will not be entered if it seeks relief beyond the scope of the motion, seeks to affect parties not before the court, seeks rulings on matters where there is no case or controversy, or is overly wordy and complex.
- Service. The clerk's office will serve on all parties in interest only the notices and orders listed in Appendix H. The clerk's office may electronically serve certain orders only on parties registered with the CM/ECF System, including non-final orders, orders on procedural matters, or orders denying a motion without prejudice. If the court orders a movant serve a copy of an order, the movant must immediately serve it on parties in interest affected by the motion or order who do not receive notice from the CM/ECF System and must file a certificate of service under Local Rule 5005-1(C).
