Section 9403. Referral to another judicial district

Notwithstanding
  rule 9402, any application for admission to practice  pending  before  a
  committee,  may  be  referred  to  the  committee  for  another judicial
  district in the same or another department by order or direction of  the
  presiding  justice of the appellate division of the department embracing
  the district  in  which  the  application  is  pending.  Such  order  or
  direction  may  be made only upon the written request of the chairman or
  acting chairman of the committee before which the application is pending
  and only upon his written certification either:
    1. that the applicant, since he applied to take the bar examination or
  to dispense with such examination or since he applied on  motion  to  be
  admitted  to  practice,  has  changed his actual residence to such other
  judicial district in the same or other department, or, if not a resident
  of the state, has acquired full-time employment in or changed his  place
  of  full-time  employment to such other judicial district in the same or
  other department; or
    2. that the  majority  of  the  members  of  such  committee  are  not
  qualified  to  vote  on  the application or have disqualified themselves
  from voting or have refrained from voting thereon; or
    3. that the members of such committee are  equally  divided  in  their
  opinion as the application; or
    4.  that strict compliance with rule 9402 will cause undue hardship to
  the applicant.
