Coming Soon: E-Orders for Proposed Orders Submission

Friday, July 31, 2026

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Florida (FLNB) is pleased to announce the upcoming implementation of E-Orders, a modern, streamlined system for submitting and processing proposed orders.

E-Orders is a CM/ECF module that will replace FLNB’s email-based proposed order submission process.  Once updated, the proposed orders submission link in CM/ECF will allow PDF versions of proposed orders to be directly uploaded into E-Orders. From there, E-Orders will route each submission through standardized Clerk’s Office and Chambers workflows, creating a more efficient and transparent process from submission to entry.

 

Why You’ll Appreciate E-Orders

E-Orders is designed to make the proposed order process easier, faster, and more predictable. Key benefits include:

  • Faster processing of proposed orders
  • Real-time tracking of proposed order submissions
  • Immediate confidence that your proposed order was successfully received
  • Greater transparency of the proposed order submission process
  • Consistent processing through standardized workflows

 

What You’ll Need to Change

Transitioning to E-Orders requires a few simple formatting updates to proposed orders:

  • Add a 3-inch blank margin to the top of the first page only.
  • Use 1-inch margins for the remainder of the first page and all subsequent pages.
  • Remove the “Done and Ordered” date line, signature line, and judge name/title block. Instead, center [END OF ORDER] immediately below the final text of the proposed order. 
  • Update the “Service” text on the last page of the order to “Service: [Name] is directed to serve a copy of this order on interested parties who did not receive service by CM/ECF and to file a proof of service within three (3) business days of entry of the order.”

 

Sample proposed orders are available to illustrate the required formatting changes.

 

More Information

Additional information, including implementation timelines, detailed formatting requirements, and the official launch date, will be announced on the Court’s website and through future Court communications in the coming weeks.   We look forward to bringing you a more efficient and user-friendly proposed order submission process with E-Orders.
