ASSIGNMENT OF CASES
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky
Text
(a) Bankruptcy petitions are assigned by the Clerk to the division that contains the county in which the debtor resides at the time of filing. For purposes of assignment, the residence of a debtor who is not an individual is the location of debtor’s registered agent for service of process within the District; or if none, in the division where debtor has its principal place of business in the District. (b) The judge to whom a case has been assigned has the primary responsibility with respect to all proceedings arising in, under, or related to that case; provided, however, all judges have concurrent jurisdiction and may act in any matter in the absence of, or with the consent of, the judge to whom the case or proceeding is assigned.
