Ohio Loc. App. R. 26
An application for en banc consideration filed pursuant to App.R. 26(A)(2) shall initially be submitted to the three-judge panel that issued the decision in the case in which the application for en banc consideration is filed. If any member of the original three-judge panel is a visiting judge, an alternative judge shall be selected at random from the available full-time members of the Court to sit on the three-judge panel initially reviewing the application for en banc consideration. If, following review of the application, the three-judge panel unanimously finds that no conflict exists, the panel shall issue a decision so finding and deny the application for en banc consideration. If any member of the three-judge panel finds that a conflict does exist, the application for en banc consideration shall be submitted to the en banc court for determination.
