How are Orders signed?
Presently, the judges sign orders in one of two ways. First, the judge may sign a paper copy of the order, which is then scanned and docketed. Second, the judge may affix an electronic facsimile (or “/s/”) of his signature to an electronic version of the order, which is then docketed. Whichever method is used to “sign” the order, you can rest assured that the imaged version of the order contained in the Court’s electronic case filing system is completely valid. No order can be entered or docketed without the approval of the judge.

There should not be a date or signature line for the judge on any page of the order and at the end of the text on the order, place three pound signs (# # #) in the center of the page to indicate the end of the order.
