EFFECTIVE MARCH 16, 2026

  1. This Local Bankruptcy Rule 1014-2 does not affect a judge’s self-recusal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455, which may become effective without notice or hearing.
  1. All cases shall be assigned by the Clerk to a Bankruptcy Judge as follows:
    1. those cases in which the Debtor resides or has its principal place of business in Fairfield or Litchfield Counties shall be assigned to the Bridgeport Division;
    1. those cases in which the Debtor resides or has its principal place of business in Middlesex or New Haven Counties shall be assigned to the New Haven Division; and
    1. those cases in which the Debtor resides or has its principal place of business in Hartford, New London, Tolland, or Windham Counties shall be assigned to the Hartford Division.
  1. If a judge to whom a case, an adversary proceeding, or a contested matter has been assigned concludes after notice and a hearing or on its own consideration that reassignment of a case, adversary proceeding, or contested matter to another Division would be in the best interests of the estate, creditors or parties-in-interest, the Clerk shall reassign a case or proceeding.
