TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 2000b–2
and request for a three-judge court shall be im-
mediately furnished by such clerk to the chief
judge of the circuit (or in his absence, the pre-
siding circuit judge of the circuit) in which the
case is pending. Upon receipt of the copy of such
request it shall be the duty of the chief judge of
the circuit or the presiding circuit judge, as the
case may be, to designate immediately three
judges in such circuit, of whom at least one
shall be a circuit judge and another of whom
shall be a district judge of the court in which
the proceeding was instituted, to hear and deter-
mine such case, and it shall be the duty of the
judges so designated to assign the case for hear-
ing at the earliest practicable date, to partici-
pate in the hearing and determination thereof,
and to cause the case to be in every way expe-
dited. An appeal from the final judgment of such
court will lie to the Supreme Court.
In the event the Attorney General fails to file
such a request in any such proceeding, it shall
be the duty of the chief judge of the district (or
in his absence, the acting chief judge) in which
the case is pending immediately to designate a
judge in such district to hear and determine the
case. In the event that no judge in the district
is available to hear and determine the case, the
chief judge of the district, or the acting chief
judge, as the case may be, shall certify this fact
to the chief judge of the circuit (or in his ab-
sence, the acting chief judge) who shall then
designate a district or circuit judge of the cir-
cuit to hear and determine the case.
It shall be the duty of the judge designated
pursuant to this section to assign the case for
hearing at the earliest practicable date
