All proposed orders submitted to judges of the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit, per Chief Judge Patterson's memo implementing AOSC19-74 and the companion attorney instructions.

DDDD = Judge Signature Date/ JJJJ = Judge Signature; MMMM = Mailing Date/ AAAA = Judicial Assistant Signature; RRRR = Reported and Recommended date / GGGG = GM or JHO signature; CCCC = Service List. The codes must be all capital letters... Do not put spaces in front of the JJJJ, GGGG or AAAA... Do not use page breaks or section breaks in your document...
