Ind. Allen Cnty. Civ. Local Rule LR02-TR86-13

A. Case Assignment. All Allen Superior Court Civil Division cases are filed

according to the Allen County Caseload Allocation Plan, LR02-AR1E-1. Except

as otherwise provided in the Allen County Caseload Allocation Plan, upon filing,

all Superior Court cases are randomly and automatically assigned to a specific

Civil Division Judge via the Indiana E-Filing System. However, the Court may

internally re-assign the case prior to the case being set for a Case Management

Conference.

B. All matters pertaining to that case shall be determined by the assigned Superior

Court Judge.

C. Case Management Conference. Most, if not all, Superior Court cases are

scheduled for a Case Management Conference upon filing. If reasonably

possible, a promptly issued Order and Notice of Case Management Conference

should be served with the Summons and Complaint.

D. Wrong Case Type Initially Selected.

1. When the wrong case type is initially selected by the party who is

initiating/filing the case, the Court may order the party to:

a. open a new case via the e-filing system with the correct case type

selected;

b. pay the appropriate filing fee related to opening the corrected case;

c. resubmit all related documents; and

d. perform other related tasks.

2. Counsel are cautioned to be diligent in case type selection when filing a new

case. Counsel should refer to the Indiana Supreme Court’s Case Type

Quick Reference Guide. If there is doubt, for instance between selecting a

“CC” or a “PL” designation for the new case, counsel shall initially designate

the case type as “PL”.
