LMAR 2.2
                  Assignment to Arbitrator


     a)   Generally; Stipulations.  When a case is set for
       arbitration, a list of five proposed arbitrators will be
       furnished to the parties.  A master list of arbitrators will
       be made available on request.  The parties are encouraged to
       stipulate to an arbitrator.  In the absence of a
       stipulation, the arbitrator will be chosen from among the
       five proposed arbitrators in the manner defined by this rule.

     b)   Response by Parties.  Each party may, within 14 days
       after a list of proposed arbitrators is furnished to the
       parties, nominate one or two arbitrators and strike two
       arbitrators from the list.  If both parties respond, an
       arbitrator nominated by both parties will be appointed.  If
       no arbitrator has been nominated by both parties, a superior
       court judge or commissioner will randomly appoint an
       arbitrator from among those not stricken by either party.

     c)   Response by Only One Party.  If only one party responds
       within 14 days, a superior court judge or commissioner will
       appoint an arbitrator nominated by that party.

     d)   No Response.  If neither party responds within 14 days,
       a superior court judge or commissioner will appoint one of
       the five proposed arbitrators.
