(c) Stipulations. Subject to the judge's approval, the parties may stipulate to any factual, legal, or procedural matters, subject to the following requirements:

(1) The parties must state in a written motion any agreements that would modify a schedule or procedure previously ordered by the judge.

(2) The parties may file a stipulation in writing or enter it on the record. The judge may require additional development or clarification of a stipulation.

(3) The judge may choose not to enforce an agreement between the parties either for good cause, or if the agreement is not in writing, signed, and filed with the judge, or entered on the record.
