Q: I forgot to include a proposed order form with a motion I just filed. Will the motion be rejected?
I filed a motion to change venue and I believe the court requires a blank "general order" form to be included with the filing, but I don't know if there are any statutes or case precedents which forgive such an error.
A: This depends on how picky that court is. I have seen it rejected on that basis and I have seen it not to be a problem. If rejected, you should be able to refile. Hopefully, you will still be within the required time period. You may want to file a proposed order at this time.

A: It depends on the court. Sometimes the Judge will draft an order in the absence of one. If the motion has not yet been ruled upon, you can still submit a proposed order. Ideally the order will be drafted to support what you are asking the Court to order.
