Rule 14.6 - Transfer and Consolidation of Related Cases(a) "Related case" means any case in which the state or a state officer or agency is a defendant that arises from the same nucleus of operative facts as the case before a special three-judge district court, regardless of the legal claims or causes of action asserted in the related case.(b) On the motion of any party to a case assigned to a special three-judge district court, the special three-judge district court must transfer a related case to itself and consolidate the related case with the case before the court.
