Companion and Related Actions
When practical, all actions involving substantially the same parties, or substantially the same
subject matter, or substantially the same factual issues, whether pending simultaneously or not,
shall be assigned to the same judge. Whenever such action is refiled, or a derivative or
companion action is filed or refiled, or a defendant is reindicted on a previous charge, or is
indicted on a subsequent charge while still under charges or serving a confinement or probated
sentence on a previous action, or co-defendants are indicted separately, such actions shall be
assigned to the judge to whom the original action was or is assigned. Generally, such actions will
be assigned to the judge to whom the action with the lower action number is assigned.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
