Proposed Order or Document: A “Proposed Order or Document” is a document that requires a signature or information to be entered by a judge or court administration and does not include signatures of the parties and/or attorneys. Proposed orders MUST include a PDF and Word .docx version unless an exception applies. The Word .docx version of this document allows the judge or court administration to make changes to the document prior to signing.

Stipulation and Proposed Order: is a combined document that requires a judge’s signature and is also signed by the parties. This document requires two exact copies be filed, one as “Stipulation” and one as “Proposed Order or Document”. The proposed order version of a stipulation should NOT include a Word .docx version as changes should not be made to a document agreed upon and signed by the parties and these documents cannot be converted to a Word .docx without losing the signatures.
