Memorandum

To:	All Administrative Assistants
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Reassignment of Cases
Date:	July 31, 1998

Wherever there is a case which you must reassign because of a disqualification or one judge's office is transferring a case to another judge's office prior to the opinion being drafted, please do a memo to me stating the reason for transfer and bring the record to me or Sheila. There are very definate steps that have to be taken to transfer a case on the system so that there is an equal assignment of cases to all judges.

If one judge's office is reassigning a case to another judge's office because the first judge's office lost the case to the second judge, that reassignment is done through Gail in the reassignment book in her office. In those cases, the reassignment will be done only after the Court has issued an opinion.

Please remember, transfers before the Court has rendered an opinion go through Sheila. Reassignments after the Court has rendered an opinion go through Gail. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
