Hello, and welcome to JustAnswer! I am a licensed attorney and will be happy to assist you.

To quickly clarify, proposed orders are not filed. They are lodged. The difference is meanngless if you take the papers to the court clerk in person, but makes all the difference if you are submitting (filing and lodging online).

With regard to the timing, there is no governing federal procedural rule. Each district handles the issue differently. In some districts, such as the Northern District of California, the moving party must include a proposed order with the moving papers. In other courts, the judge ordinarily directs the prevailing attorney (or pro-se litigant) to prepare the order. If not served with the moving or opposition papers, the proposed order should be submitted to opposing counsel for approval as to form before being submitted to the judge for signature.

To find out whether your court requires the proposed order now or only after the judge makes a ruling, you can check your court's website under "local rules" by searching the rules (select the text and search it) for "proposed order" or "orders," or you can let me know the specific court in which your matter is pending and I will be happy to find the answer for you.

If you need additional information or clarification, please let me know and I will be happy to continue to assist you.

If I have answered your question, please be sure to indicate your satisfaction where indicated.

Best of luck!

Thank you for the additional information.
