E.D. La. LR 3.1.1
Assignment of Collateral Proceedings and Refiled Cases
To promote judicial economy, conserve judicial resources, and avoid potential forum shopping
and conflicting court rulings, all actions described in LR 3.1 must be transferred to the section
with the lowest docket number, unless the two judges involved determine that some other
procedure is in the interest of justice. If the transferee and transferor judges cannot agree upon
whether a case should be transferred, the opinion of the transferee judge prevails. If counsel fails
to make the certification described in LR 3.1, the judge to whom the case is allotted must
transfer the action when he or she learns of the related nature of the proceedings.
