Does a clerk need to specifically order that a notation on a minute order constitute entry of judgment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Radio Television v. New World Entertainment, 183 F.3d 922 (9th Cir. 1999):

As noted above, in order to constitute entry of judgment, the document must meet the requirements of Local Rule 14.10.5; the judge must "specifically order[ ]"that the minute order shall constitute entry of judgment upon the notation in the docket. The judge--not the clerk--must make that order. See Wood v. Coast Frame Supply, Inc., 779 F.2d 1441, 1442 (9th Cir. 1986). Nothing of the sort occurred here. The judge did not write any language upon the minute order which would indicate that he was ordering that the notation in the docket would constitute entry of judgment. Nor did the judge execute a separate document to order that the notation on the docket of minute order should constitute entry of judgment.
