(a) Procedure. If a party believes the law requires a three-judge court in a case or
proceeding, the party must:
(1) print “Three-Judge District Court Requested” or the equivalent immediately
following the title on the first pleading asserting a claim requiring a three-judge
court; and
(2) set forth the basis for the request in the pleading or in a short 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 constitutes a “request” under 28 U.S.C. § 2284(b)(1).
