LMAR 2.3      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 upon 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 the 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, the Arbitration Administrator 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, the Arbitration Administrator
will appoint an arbitrator nominated by that party.

              (d)  No Response.  If neither party responds
within 14 days, the Arbitration Administrator will randomly
appoint one of the five proposed arbitrators.

              (e)  Additional Arbitrators for Additional
Parties.  If there are more than two adverse parties, all
represented by different counsel, two additional proposed
arbitrators shall be added to the list for each additional
party so represented with the above principles of selection
to be applied.  The number of adverse parties shall be
determined by the Arbitration Administrator, subject to
review by the Presiding Judge.
