4. Select [Proposed Order] from the event list.

5. Skip the Joint Filing screen.

8. Browse to select the Proposed Order (.pdf file).
   
   A Proof of Service or Affidavit of No Objection may be added as an attachment to this document. Do not check the radio button to add attachments to this document IF the attachments should be part of the signed order.  Instead, create a single PDF document that includes the attachments.
   
   Note: You will receive a warning message if an order already exists for the same case and related document.  Select "Create another order" when there is more than one order that relates to the same document or select "Replace the original order" when you want to replace the order. If the original order has already been forwarded to the Judge, you will be prompted to contact the courtroom deputy (Judge's Judicial Assistant).

9. Refer to the appropriate document (e.g., Motion/Application, Stipulation, Plan, Objection to Exemptions, Objection to Claim, Complaint, etc.).

10. Enter the Order Type.

• Select Urgent only when the proposed order needs to be signed as soon as possible (i.e., there is a verifiable emergency or other situation necessitating immediate signature).  

• Select Routine for all other orders.

11. Enter a Hearing Date if the proposed order is being submitted as a result of a hearing. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

12. Add a description of the Proposed Order to text (e.g., Motion by GMAC for Relief from Stay).

13. Verify the final docket text; if correct, click [Next] to submit your document(s).
