Ariz. Sup. Ct. Loc. R. (Rule DR-5. Appearance by Responsive Party)
Rule DR-5. Appearance by Responsive Party
A moving party may file a settlement agreement, stipulation, or consent decree executed by all parties prior to a response by the other party or parties. This settlement filing shall not itself constitute an appearance by a responsive party and no fee will be charged for the filing. If a responsive party appears after the filing of the settlement agreement, the party shall pay the full first appearance filing fee then in effect required by law, as well as any applicable post judgment filing fee for the new filing.
