A provision for transfer of causes, civil or criminal, from one place for holding court to another was omit- ted. Such provision, as to civil cases, is covered by sec- tion 1404 of this title, and, as to criminal cases, is ren- dered unnecessary because of inherent power of the court and Rules 18–20 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, relating to venue. A provision for making an interlocutory order at any place designated for holding court was omitted as un- necessary in view of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 77(b). A provision requiring the clerk to keep his office at the State capital was omitted as covered by section 751 of this title. Changes in arrangement and phraseology were made. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 2019—Pub. L. 116–40 substituted ‘‘Flagstaff, Globe, Phoenix, Prescott, Tucson, and Yuma’’ for ‘‘Globe, Phoenix, Prescott, and Tucson’’. § 83.
