Statutory Three-Judge Actions

In any action or proceeding that a party believes is required to be heard by a three-judge district court, the words “Three-Judge District Court Requested” or the equivalent shall be included immediately following the title of the first pleading in which the claim for relief requiring a three-judge court is pleaded. Unless the basis for the request is apparent from the pleading, it shall be set forth in the pleading or in a brief statement attached thereto. The words “Three-Judge District Court Requested” or the equivalent on a pleading is a sufficient request under 28 U.S.C. § 2284.
