C.D. Ill. Civil LR 5.9
Court Record and Orders
(A) Official Court Record
The Clerk’s office will not maintain a paper Court file except as otherwise provided
in these Rules. The official Court record is the electronic file maintained by the
Court, supplemented with any documents or exhibits conventionally filed in
accordance with these Rules.
(B) Orders
(1) Judges’ Signatures
The assigned judge or the Clerk’s office will electronically file all signed
orders. Any order signed electronically has the same force and effect as if
the judge had affixed the judge’s signature to a paper copy of the order and
it had been entered on the docket conventionally.
(2) Proposed Orders
Proposed orders must be submitted as attachments to motions. The
presiding judge may request a copy of the proposed order be sent in Word
or WordPerfect format (i.e., not .pdf) to the chambers email address.
(3) Text-Only Orders
The assigned judge may grant routine orders by a text-only entry upon the
docket. When text-only entries are made, no separate .pdf document will
issue; the text-only entry will constitute the Court’s only order on the matter.
The System will generate a “Notice of Electronic Filing.”

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.
