(a) Three-Judge Cases. Upon filing any suit or proceeding that may require a three-judge court
for disposition, the party instituting the action shall state in writing, to the Clerk of Court and
other parties the provision under which said party is proceeding. Failure to comply with this
rule may result in the matter being treated as one not requiring three judges.
(b) Social Security Cases. Complaints filed in civil cases pursuant to Section 205(g) of the Social
Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), for benefits under Titles II, XVI, and XVIII of the Social Security
Act shall be submitted for filing on forms furnished by the Clerk of Court or substantially in
conformity therewith.
