Except where another procedure is prescribed by law, the clerk may approve bonds without an order of the court if:

(1) the amount of the bond has been fixed by a judge, by court rule, or by statute, and

(2) the bond is secured either (a) by the deposit of cash or obligations of the United States, or (b) by the guaranty of a corporate surety holding a certification of authority from the Secretary of the Treasury, or (c) n adversary proceedings, by the guaranty of two individual residents of the Northern District of Illinois who satisfy Rule 408(b), and the written consent of all parties thereto is attached to the instrument and affidavits of justification.

Committee Note: This rule is based on local General Rule 27, modified to limit (2)(c) to adversary proceedings, because only in such proceedings can the clerk know from the record who all parties to the action are, unlike contested matters wherein the judge is in a better position to know who all parties are.
