FOR COURTS OF RECORD IN )

STEUBEN COUNTY, INDIANA )

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO AMEND

LOCAL RULE NUMBER LR76-AR1E-4

CONCERNING CRIMINAL CASE FILINGS

The judges of the courts of record of Steuben County, Indiana have met and reviewed current local rule number LR76-AR1E-4 concerning criminal case filings. Their review reveals that a disproportionate number of cases are being allocated to the Steuben Superior Court.

The judges of the courts of record have conferred and agree that the division of the criminal case load should be adjusted to allow for an even division of the criminal case load of Steuben County, Indiana.

Accordingly, the judges of the courts of record request the re-adoption and amendment of their local rule pertaining to the criminal caseload allocation as required by Administrative Rule 1, which local rule had previously been published for public comment as required by Trial Rule 81 and which has been approved by the Supreme Court of Indiana, and request the Supreme Court to approve the re-adoption and amendment of LR76-AR1E-4.
