A. Preparation of orders and judgments. Upon announcement of the court's
decision in any matter the court shall:
(1)
allow counsel a reasonable time, fixed by the court, within which to submit
the requested form of order or judgment;
(2)
designate the counsel who shall be responsible for preparation of the
order or judgment and fix the time within which it is to be submitted; or
(3)
prepare its own form of order or judgment.
B. Time limit. If no satisfactory form of order or judgment has been submitted within
the time fixed by the court, the court shall take such steps as it may deem proper to
have an appropriate form of order or judgment entered promptly.
C. Examination by counsel. In all events, before the court signs any order or
judgment, counsel shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to examine the same and
make suggestions or objections.
D. Filing. Upon the signing of any order or judgment it shall be filed promptly in the
clerk's office and such filing constitutes entry thereof.
