Special Info/procedures:

Special Info/procedures for RBR: To obtain a hearing date for a motion or other request for relief, you must file it and once it gets on the docket the courtroom deputy will do the notice of hearing and send it to the movant. Upon receipt of the notice of hearing the movant must serve interested parties and file a certificate of service with the court.

Emergency matters should be accompanied with a copy and Local Form "Emergency Filing Cover Sheet".

Chapter 13 matters can be self calendared. Refer to www.flsb.uscourts.gov Local Rules & Forms, and Court's Guidelines.

You can also refer to the same site for Guidelines for Preparing, Submitting & Serving Orders.

Proposed orders should conform with the Court’s Guidelines for Preparing, Submitting and Serving Orders. The title of submitted orders should contain a description of the underlying motion, including the words "Ex Parte" or "Agreed" where applicable, and should reflect the Court's ruling on the motion.

            Orders should be submitted as follows:
Orders presented at hearings
As required by Local Rule 5005-1(G), parties shall bring to the hearing a proposed order granting or denying the relief requested. If the proposed order is submitted after the hearing, that order must be submitted by the third business day following the hearing. A prevailing party’s failure to timely submit a proposed order may result in entry of an Order denying the motion.

            Orders not presented at hearings
                        •          Conventional Paper Orders shall be delivered or mailed to the Clerk’s office in Fort Lauderdale. Do not fax or e-mail proposed orders unless specifically requested to do so.
 
                        •          E-Orders may be submitted electronically in “pdf” format by registered users of CM/ECF. The Court strongly prefers electronic submission of proposed orders via CM/ECF’s E-Order function.
 
                        •        Orders on MATTERS UNDER ADVISEMENT should be submitted via e-mail in Wordperfect format to: RBR_Chambers@flsb.uscourts.gov. The e-mail should identify why the parties found it necessary to submit competing orders. No other orders or communications should be sent to this e-mail address unless specifically instructed to do so.
