(New Procedure) Proposed Orders:
Judge Gillen is now requiring that all orders be submitted through OLS (Online Services).
A copy of the motion as well as opposing counsel’s email confirmation indicating agreement with the order can be attached or you may indicate in the “comments” section that opposing counsel has reviewed and agreed to the language of the order. Additionally, if you have multiple case numbers, the order must be uploaded for each case number.
If the Proposed Order is NOT agreed, DO NOT submit the proposed order. You must set the matter for hearing instead.
Please refer to Judge Gillen's Divisional Instructions for all divisional procedures, thank you.
