(a) When Required. Except as to orders disposing of motions listed in
Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a), the clerk will enter judgment by separate document at the
conclusion of each case.
(b) Time and Manner of Entering Judgment.
(1) When a jury returns a general verdict without special interrogatories
or denies all relief, or when the court awards only costs or a sum
certain, the clerk must promptly enter judgment, in favor of one party
and against another party, without awaiting direction by the court.
(2) In the text of any order on which it is appropriate for the clerk to enter
judgment, the court will direct the clerk as to the time and manner of
entering judgment. If the court finally denies all relief in the case but
gives no direction as to entry of judgment, the clerk must enter
judgment without awaiting the court’s direction.
(c) Proposed Judgment. The court may order the prevailing party to file a
proposed judgment. Objections to the proposed judgment may be filed within
seven days of its filing.
