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).
