EDCR 5.704

(a) Once a trial, motion, or other proceeding is completed, the court may request additional information or documentation, draft a dispositional order, or render a decision and designate a party to prepare the necessary documents for the court’s review and signature. In the absence of any specific direction, the moving party (or plaintiff, for final dispositions) should draft the documents.

(b) Parties must provide such orders, provisions, and documents as are necessary to achieve distribution or finalization of all interests at issue in the proceedings or specify on the record when, how, and by whom that distribution or finalization is to be achieved.

(c) The court may issue an order to show cause for failure of a party to prepare and submit the necessary documents as directed within the time allotted by the court. Upon submission, the court may sign the proposed documents, return them to the preparer with instructions for revision, or take such other actions as are necessary to obtain a complete written disposition of the matter.

(d) The court may elect to provide written notice of entry. A party may waive notice of entry, in which case the date of entry of the written order or decree shall be treated as the date of service of notice of entry for all time limits normally calculated from service of notice of entry.
