The Servicemember Relief Act Article 9

Matters of the petition for deliberation and re-appeal shall fall under the jurisdiction of the Protection Committee in the district where the original disposition or measure agency is located.In receipt of the matters in the preceding paragraph, the Protection Committee, upon determining a lack of jurisdiction over the matter in whole or in part, shall, ex officio, transfer to the one that has jurisdiction and notifies the petitioner or re-appellant.In matters of multiple and separately initiated petitions for deliberation or re-appeals by one servicemember, or related multiple petitions or re-appeals, the Protection Committee may, ex officio, decide to transfer to the one that first receives or of which the location is most closely connected for consolidation and adjudicates accordingly.In cases where several Protection Committees have jurisdiction over one matter, the High Court of Military Justice shall designate one to exercise jurisdiction.
