LMAR 2.1
                   TRANSFER TO ARBITRATION

       (a)  Statement of Arbitrability.  In every civil case the
       party filing the note for trial assignment shall upon the
       form provided by the court, complete a statement of
       arbitrability, and serve it upon opposing counsel or party,
       if not represented by counsel. Prior to the trial-setting
       date, any party disagreeing with the statement of
       arbitrability or willing to stipulate to arbitration shall
       serve and file a response to the statement or arbitrability
       as filed, upon the form prescribed by the court.  In the
       absence of such a response, the statement of arbitrability
       shall be deemed correct, and the case shall be set for
       arbitration.  Cases transferred to the arbitration calendar
       shall be stricken from the trial calendar.  Unless otherwise
       ordered by the court, no trial date shall be assigned in
       cases, which are subject to arbitration.


            If a party asserts that it's claim exceeds $50,000.00, or
       seeks relief other than a money judgment, the case is not
       subject to arbitration, except by stipulation.

       (b)     Failure to file-amendments.  A party failing to
       serve and file an original response within the time
       prescribed may do so later only upon leave of court.  A
       party may amend the statement of arbitrability or response
       thereto at any time prior to assignment of an arbitrator or
       assignment of a trial date and thereafter only by leave of
       court for good cause shown.
