When an order is entered directing the clerk to transfer a case to another district pursuant to the
provisions of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404, 1406, or 1412, the clerk shall delay the transfer of the case for 14
days following the date of docketing the order of transfer, provided that where the court directs that
the case be transferred forthwith, no such delay shall be made. In effecting the transfer, the clerk
shall transmit the original of all documents, including the order of transfer, and a certified copy of
the docket. The clerk shall note on the docket the date of the transfer.
The filing of a petition for reconsideration of an order of transfer shall not serve to stop the transfer
of the case. The court on its own motion or on motion of the party filing a petition for
reconsideration may direct the clerk not to complete the transfer process until a date certain or
further order of court.
