Unless otherwise directed by a judge, the clerk shall not prepare or sign default judgments in any adversary proceeding or contested matter under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9021 (Fed.R.Civ.P. 58), or Fed.R.Bankr.P. 7055 (Fed.R.Civ.P. 55). Such judgments shall be presented to the judge for entry.

Committee Note: A bankruptcy judge rarely enters judgments that are only money judgments. Under Fed.R.Civ.P. 58 (Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9021), the court may direct the clerk not to enter default judgments. This rule relieves the clerk of a complex task and follows local practice since 1989.
