Rule 1 Introduction/administrative procedure
All practice and procedure before the Circuit Judge or the Domestic Relations Commissioner shall be subject to these local rules, the Kentucky Civil Rules of Procedure (CR), the Family Court Rules of Procedure and Practice (FCRPP), the Kentucky Criminal Rules of Procedure (RCr) and all other laws and statutes of the Commonwealth of Kentucky enacted by the General Assembly, and Rules enacted by this Court and the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Kentucky.
These rules are adopted pursuant to the authority granted by Rule 1.040(3) of the Rules of the Supreme Court. They shall be effective with full force and effect to all actions filed or pending after their promulgation by order of the Chief Judge of the Whitley and McCreary Circuit Courts and certification and approval of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kentucky.
These rules apply to the practice of law in the 34th Judicial Circuit, which consists of Whitley and McCreary Counties, and may be cited as “Rules of the 34th Judicial Circuit” or “R34JC.”
104.1 When a civil action is filed, the Clerk shall enter the appropriate information into the computer system and request the computer to assign the case to a Division. Thereafter, all process, pleadings, motions, orders, and papers filed in the case shall set forth the Division on which the case has been assigned. Before assigning the case to a particular Division, the Clerk of the court shall assign a file number to the action.
105.6 When two or more cases have been filed that may, as a matter of right or in the discretion of the Court, be consolidated and such actions are pending in different divisions of the Court, any party to any of the actions, or the Court without motion, may have any of the actions transferred to that Division of the Court in which the first of the cases was filed. If it is determined that consolidation is not proper, the Judge of that division may transfer the case back to the original division.
