(1993) Renumbered per Model Rules.<br />

Rule 3.7 Reassignment of Cases Due to Recusal, Temporary Assignment or<br />

Emergency<br />

Arria.) The procedure for reassignment of cases due to recusal, temporary<br />

assignment or emergency shall be similar to the blind filing assignment<br />

for newly-filed cases and shall be administered in a manner approved by<br />

the <strong>Court</strong> so as to assure fair and equitable distribution of all such<br />

matters throughout the <strong>District</strong>.<br />

B-^(b) Any emergency matter arising in a case pending before a Judge who<br />

is physically absent from the <strong>District</strong> or who is unavailable due to<br />

illness, or is on vacation, may, upon written certification as to each<br />

matter from the Judge's office setting forth such grounds therefor, be<br />

referred to the Clerk of the <strong>Court</strong> for reassignment under a blind random<br />

assignment procedure. Such assignment, when effected, shall be of<br />

temporary duration, limited only to the immediate relief sought, and the<br />

case for all other purposes or proceedings shall remain on the docket of<br />

the Judge to whom it was originally assigned.<br />

€-s-(c) Uncontested matters wherein the parties cannot be prejudiced<br />

through delay occasioned by the normal course of business shall not be<br />

deemed emergency matters for referral.<br />

B-r(d) The Clerk of the <strong>Court</strong> shall not have any discretion in determining<br />

the Judge to whom any such matter is assigned, nor shall the Clerk of the<br />

<strong>Court</strong> disclose the name of the Judge to attorneys or other persons until<br />

after the assignment has been made.<br />

Effective Dec. 1, 1994. Amended effective April 15, 2007.<br />
