Local Rule L.R. 9-2: Request for Three-Judge Court

N.D. Ind. L.R. 9-2 Request for Three-Judge Court

(a) Procedure. If a party believes the law requires a three-judge court in a case or proceeding, the party must:

(1) print "Three-Judge District Court Requested" or the equivalent immediately following the title on the first pleading asserting a claim requiring a three-judge court; and

(2) set forth the basis for the request in the pleading or in a short statement attached to the pleading, unless the basis is apparent from the pleading.

(b) Sufficiency of Request. The words "Three-Judge District Court Requested" or the equivalent on a pleading constitutes a "request" under 28 U.S.C. § 2284(b)(1).
