Settlement Of Judgments And Orders By The Court

W.D. Mo. Local Rule 58.2

If the Court awards any judgment or order which requires settlement and Court approval as to form, the Court may order the prevailing party to, within 7 days after the announcement of the decision, prepare a draft of the judgment or order embodying the Court’s decision, serve a copy upon each party, and file a copy. Within 7 days after receiving the draft of judgment, any party may file a statement of approval or disapproval as to the form of the draft, and serve a copy upon each party. If that party disapproves of the draft of judgment, it must file a statement of its objections, the reasons therefor, and a draft of the judgment or order which it proposes as a substitute for the transmitted draft.
