SLR 4-7.101: HABEAS CORPUS – DOCUMENT FILING IN THE CIVIL SECTION OF THE COURT

THE COURT (1) All documents required to be filed with the Clerk of the Court in habeas corpus matters must be filed in the Civil Section of the Office of the Trial Court Administrator and will be assigned a case number for that matter separate from the underlying case if such a case exists in the circuit court. This rule applies to petitions, writs, motions, affidavits, proposed orders, judgments, and any other document regarding the matter. (2) If the petition for the writ of habeas corpus arises from an underlying case in this circuit court, the identity of that case, the caption, and the circuit court’s case number must be set out in the first allegation of the petition. For purposes of this rule, an extradition action pending within the jurisdiction of the circuit court is a “case”.
