What deb posted is 100% corrcect however I believe it to be misunderstood.

The attornies file a REQUEST for a stay ( this is NOT AND ORDER deb's cut and paste specifically refers to an order.)

Simultaneously with the filing of a request the attornies file an --as a courtesy-- an "ORDER".  This is not a COURT ORDER and is NOT teh equivalent of a signed order, IT IS MERELY A CONVIENENCE FOR the judge obviating the need for the clerk to type up an order.  It;s sort of like your kids needing permission for something like class trip so they write up the note and bring it in to you to sign.  IT IS NOT in effect until it is signed,

THE JUDGE wil then Grant or Deny the ORDER.  If he Grants the order he can do so by signing the paper or filing teh Granted orders electroniclaly. This is what debs cut and paste was referring to.

As far as dates are concerned the ORDER was GRANTED 11/01 and any clocks should begin on that date.
