S.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 6.2
Orders on Motions
A memorandum signed by the court of the decision on a motion that does not finally
determine all claims for relief, or an oral decision on such a motion, will constitute the
order unless the memorandum or oral decision directs the submission or settlement of
an order in more extended form. The notation in the docket of a memorandum or of an
oral decision that does not direct the submission or settlement of an order in more
extended form will constitute the entry of the order. Where an order in more extended
form is required to be submitted or settled, the notation in the docket of the order will
constitute the entry of the order.
For relevant historical context for this local rule, consult the Appendix of Committee Notes.
History
PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE Local Civil Rule 6.2 remains necessary because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not specify what constitutes the entry of an order. The Committee believes that the existing language of Local Civil Rule 6.2 is broad enough to encompass notations in the ECF docket, and that no change is required for this reason.
