D. Neb. NECivR 7.4
Motion to Certify a Question to State Court
A party may move to certify a question of state law to the highest court of that state
when it appears that (a) an issue of that state's law is determinative of the case
and (b) there is no clear controlling state law precedent. The moving party's brief
must include a statement of the precise issue to be certified. If the court grants the
motion, it orders the parties to prepare and file stipulated facts, which this court
forwards to the state court. The filing fees and court costs of the state court must
be paid directly to the clerk of the state court.

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.
