        For purposes of determining the effective date of transfers pursuant to this order, "filed" in
a court of appeals means the receipt of notice of appeal by the court of appeals.


        In effectuating this Order, companion cases shall either all be transferred, or shall all be
retained by the Court in which filed, as determined by the Chief Justice of the transferring Court,
provided that cases which are companions to any case filed before the respective operative dates of
transfer specified above, shall be retained by the Court in which originally filed.


        It is specifically provided that the cases ordered transferred by this Order shall, in each
instance, not include original proceedings; appeals from interlocutory orders; appeals from denial
of writs of habeas corpus; appeals in extradition cases; appeals regarding the amount of bail set in
a criminal case; appeals from trial courts and pretrial courts in multidistrict litigation pursuant to
Rule 13.9(b) of the Rules of Judicial Administration; appeals in cases involving termination of
parental rights; and those cases that, in the opinion of the Chief Justice of the transferring court,
contain extraordinary circumstances or circumstances indicating that emergency action may be
required.


        The transferring Court of Appeals will make the necessary orders for transfer of the cases as
directed hereby, and will cause the Clerk of that Court to transfer the appellate record in each case,
and certify all orders made, to the court of appeals to which the cases are transferred. When a block
of cases is transferred, the transferring court will implement the transfer of the case files in groups
not less than once a month, or after all the requisite number of cases have been filed.          Upon
completion of the transfer of the requisite number of cases ordered transferred, the transferring Court
shall submit a list of the cases transferred, identified by style and number, to the State Office of
Court Administration, and shall immediately notify the parties or their attorneys in the cases
transferred of the transfer and the court to which transferred.


        The provisions ofMisc. Docket Order No. 06-9136 shall apply.


SO ORDERED this 15th day of December, 2014.
