RULE 2.1
                   TRANSFER TO ARBITRATION


     (a)  Statement of Arbitrability.  In every civil case
the party filing the note for trial shall complete a
statement of arbitrability substantially in the form
attached to the civil rules.

     (b)  Response to Statement of Arbitrability.  Any party
disagreeing with the statement of arbitrability shall serve
and file a response to the statement of arbitrability with a
copy of the statement of arbitrability and note for trial
setting objected to within ten days of the service of the
statement of arbitrability and note for trial setting.  A
copy of both the statement and response shall be furnished
to the court administrator by the responding party at the
time of filing so that an objection calendar may be
prepared.  In the absence of such a response, the statement
of arbitrability shall be deemed correct, and a
nonresponding party shall be deemed to have stipulated to
arbitration if the statement of arbitrability provides that
the case is arbitrable.  Otherwise, the case will not be
subject to arbitration except by stipulation of the parties
or court order and will be set for trial on the trial
calendar.

     (c)  Failure to File--Amendments.  A person failing to
serve and file an original response within the times
prescribed may later do so only upon leave of the court.  A
party may amend a statement of arbitrability or response at
any time before assignment of an arbitrator thereafter only
upon leave of the court for good cause shown.

     (d)  By Stipulation.  If all parties file a stipulation
to arbitration under MAR 8.1 the case will be placed on the
arbitration calendar regardless of the nature of the case or
amount in controversy.
