The bankruptcy cases, ancillary matters, and adversary proceedings assigned to each judge shall constitute the calendar of that judge.
B. Calendar of a Judge who Dies, Retires, or Resigns
Matters on the calendar of a judge who dies, resigns, or retires shall be reassigned by the clerk of the Court as soon as possible under direction of the chief judge, either pro rata by lot among the remaining judges, or by transfer in its entirety or in part to another judge.
C. Calendar for a Newly-Appointed Judge
A calendar shall be prepared for a newly-appointed judge to which cases shall be transferred by the clerk of the Court under direction of the chief judge in such number as the chief judge may determine, either by lot from the calendar of other judges, or by transfer in whole or part of the calendar of a judge who has died, retired, or resigned. If transfer is by lot from the calendar of other sitting judges, no case or proceeding is to be transferred if it is certified by the assigned judge to be one in which that judge has engaged in such a level of judicial work that reassignment would adversely affect judicial economy.
Committee Note: This rule is based on local General Rule 2.13, modified to permit a judge to withhold from transfer a case in which considerable judicial work would have to be repeated if the case were reassigned. The sitting judge would best know whether that is so.
