Orders, decrees, and judgments shall be submitted by email to the proposed text email address for the trial judge, to the clerk of the district court, or to the assigned judge’s trial court administrative assistant for delivery to the trial judge unless the case is assigned to an out-of-county or out-of-district judge, in which case the document shall be submitted to the trial judge or the judge’s trial court administrative assistant. Orders, decrees, and judgments should be submitted not later than fifteen (15) days following the announcement of the court’s decision unless otherwise ordered. The prevailing party shall be responsible for the filing. Orders and judgments will not be signed by the judge unless they have been approved by counsel for all parties to the cause. D.

(2) Should the counsel for any party or pro se party indicate a disagreement with the proposed form of order, then either party may file a Request for Hearing attaching that party’s proposed form of order. The court may then either schedule a hearing or enter an order determined by the court to be appropriate. (3) In cases where all parties are appearing pro se, the court may enter an order. The parties shall then have seven (7) days in which to file an objection to the order. If an objection is filed, the court shall set the matter for hearing. E. Multiple defendants.
