(a) Procedure. To request a three-judge court in a case, a party must:
(1) print "Three-Judge District Court Requested" or the equivalent
immediately following the title on the first pleading the party files; and
(2) set forth the basis for the request in the pleading or in a brief 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 is a sufficient request under 28 U.S.C. § 2284.
(c) Non-Electronic Filings. Parties in a case where a three-judge court has been
requested must file an original and three copies of any document filed directly with
the clerk (instead of electronically) until the court:
(1) denies the request;
(2) dissolves the three-judge court; or
(3) allows the parties to file fewer copies.
