Request for Three-Judge Court

activein force · 2026-07-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) Procedure. To request a three-judge court in a case, a party must:

(1) print "Three-Judge District Court Requested" or the equivalent

immediately following the title on the first pleading the party files; and

(2) set forth the basis for the request in the pleading or in a brief 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 is a sufficient request under 28 U.S.C. § 2284.

(c) Non-Electronic Filings. Parties in a case where a three-judge court has been

requested must file an original and three copies of any document filed directly with

the clerk (instead of electronically) until the court:

(1) denies the request;

(2) dissolves the three-judge court; or

(3) allows the parties to file fewer copies.

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.
