3d Cir. L.A.R. Misc. 113.5
Entry of Court-Issued Documents
(a) Except as otherwise provided by local rule or court order, all orders, decrees,
judgments, and proceedings of the court relating to cases filed and maintained in the CM/ECF
system will be filed in accordance with these rules, which will constitute entry on the docket kept
by the clerk under FRAP 36 and 45(b). Court orders, decrees, judgments, and other documents
filed by the court will contain an electronic signature. Any order or other court issued document
filed electronically without a hand-written signature of a judge or authorized court personnel has
the same force and effect as if the judge or clerk had signed a paper copy of the order.
(b) Orders also may be entered as “text-only” entries on the docket, without an attached
document. Such orders are official and binding.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
