Entry Of Court Orders

S.D. Ill. RULE 4

All orders, judgments, minute entries, and notices filed in accordance with these rules will constitute entry on the docket kept by the clerk under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 58 and 79 and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure 49 and 55. Text-only entries on the docket, without an attached document, are official and binding. Any order or other Court-issued document filed electronically without the original signature of a judge or clerk has the same force and effect as if the judge or clerk had signed a paper copy of the document, and it had been entered on the docket in a conventional manner.
