11th Cir. IOP 1 (FRAP 27)
Routing Procedures to Judges
Pre-submission motions requiring consideration by judges are
assigned to motions panels. Composition of these panels is changed at the beginning of each court
year in October, and upon a change in the court’s membership. The clerk submits the motion papers
to the judges assigned in rotation from a routing log, the effect of which is to route motions
randomly to judges based on filing date. In matters requiring panel action, the papers are sent to
the first judge (initiating judge), who will transmit them to the second judge with a recommendation.
The second judge in turn sends them on to the third judge who returns the file and an appropriate
order to the clerk.
