All orders must be submitted via CourtMAP in Microsoft Word format. If the order is agreed, submit it in the agreed order queue and note the agreement of counsel in the title and body of the order.
Please verify any motion or stipulation that is the subject of an agreed order is filed and visible on the docket prior to submitting the order. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of the agreed order.
If your order has been rejected, please resubmit a new copy after you have addressed any errors/missing information. Rejected orders are removed from the system. This is the only time an order would need to be resubmitted.
PLEASE NOTE: Unless your order has been rejected, amended, or you have been directed otherwise by Chambers, please DO NOT upload multiple copies of your proposed order, even if there is a delay in execution. Doing so can result in duplicate signed orders that have to be put on hold by the clerk's office until the proper order is verified. Instead, please contact Chambers by email for a status update. You will then be advised if a new order is needed.
Please be aware that certain items are prohibited on courthouse premises. If any listed prohibited item is detected to be in your possession when entering a court facility, you will be asked to exit the facility to secure the item elsewhere or dispose of it, before being allowed entry into the facility.
