E.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 1.6
Duty of Attorneys in Related Cases
Unless another attorney has already done so, each attorney appearing in a case must
bring to the attention of the court potentially related cases, to the extent required by the
Division of Business Rules in the district where the case was filed.
For relevant historical context for this local rule, consult the Appendix of Committee Notes.
History
PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Committee recommends that Local Civil Rule 1.6(a) be amended to provide simply that notification must be given to the Judges to whom the case has been assigned. 2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Division of Business Rules for both districts contain rules regarding potentially related cases, including the definition of a related case and the procedure for notifying the court of related cases. As such, this local civil rule has been amended to avoid any unnecessary duplication or confusion between the prior local rule and the Division of Business Rules and now requires the counsel to comply with the Division of Business Rules. In addition, the language stating that the court may impose costs on an attorney who violates the rule has been removed as unnecessary given the general authority of the court to impose sanctions for the violations of its rules.
