RULE 412. Transfers and Remands of Cases

A. Transfers

When an order is entered directing the clerk to transfer a matter to another district, the clerk shall delay the transfer of the case for fourteen 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.

B. Remands

When an order is entered directing that a matter be remanded to a state court, the clerk shall delay mailing the certified copy of the remand order for fourteen days following the date of docketing the order of transfer, provided that, where the court directs that the copy be mailed forthwith, no such delay shall be made.

C. Motions for Reconsideration of Transfer and Remand Orders; Extension of Time to File

The filing of a motion under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9023 (Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 ) affecting an order of transfer or an order of remand referred to in sections A and B of this rule shall not serve to stop the transfer or remand of the case. However, on motion, the court may direct the clerk not to complete the transfer or remand process until a date certain or further order of court.

Committee Note: This rule is based on local General Rule 30.
