Rule 58(a). Service of Form of Judgment; Entry

    Forms of judgment shall be served upon all parties and counsel. Except as provided in Rule 54(b), a party seeking attorneys' fees shall provide in the form of judgment for an award of attorneys' fees in an amount to be entered by the court. Except as provided in subsection (f) of this rule, all judgments shall be in writing and signed by a judge or a court commissioner duly authorized to do so. The filing with the clerk of the judgment constitutes entry of such judgment, and the judgment is not effective before such entry, except that in such circumstances and on such notice as justice may require, the court may direct the entry of a judgment nunc pro tunc, and the reasons for such direction shall be entered of record. The entry of the judgment shall not be delayed for taxing costs.
