IMPORTANT NOTICES

Updated Case Management Packet

3/2024
Motions should not be noticed for hearing but instead should simply be filed. If a motion has not been addressed by either a ruling or the setting of a briefing schedule within a reasonable time after the motion is filed, normally three business days, counsel may inquire about the motion by sending a message to
chambers_gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov.

For further instructions regarding motions see Case Management Packet "Section V -- Motions."

LOCAL RULE 3.2 -- NOTIFICATION AS TO AFFILIATES

Any pleading which fails to comply with Local Rule 3.2 (Notification as to Affiliates) will not be acted upon until the filing party has complied with Local Rule 3.2.

chevron_right

Proposed Orders are technically not to be "filed." Rather, they are to be "submitted" to the judge to consider, to modify, if appropriate, and to enter electronically. For example, proposed orders such as stipulated protective orders require court approval before actually being given full effect. To prevent confusion, such proposed orders must be attached to an e-mail sent to the e-mail address of the assigned judge, Proposed_Order_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov The subject line of the e-mail must include the case number and name, the docket number of the corresponding motion, if any, and the title of the order that is proposed. All such documents must be submitted to the court in Word and PDF format. Such proposed orders should also be served on all parties. Proposed Orders are technically not to be "filed."
