Rule 3534. Assignment to a Particular Judge.
A. After receiving an assigned docket number from the Prothonotary or Deputy Prothonotary, the Applicant, not a law enforcement officer, shall call the Supervising Judge, inform him or her of the locale of the interception, and request assignment of a judge to consider the application. The Supervising Judge then shall assign a judge of the Superior Court via written order and inform the Applicant of the Assigned Judge.
B. All matters related to a docket number shall be presented to the Assigned/Issuing Judge. In extraordinary circumstances, where the Assigned/Issuing Judge is unavailable or is no longer a judge of the Superior Court, the Applicant or movant shall contact the Supervising Judge for assignment of a substitute judge. In true emergencies, where delay risks death or serious bodily injury, any judge of the Superior Court may issue any order permitted by law.
