The timing for renewal of a change of judge request under Rule 6(f) is tied to which event?

The timing for renewing a change-of-judge request under Rule 6(f) is tied to the issuance of the appellate court’s mandate. The mandate marks the point at which the appellate decision becomes effective and the case is returned to the trial court for remand or further proceedings. Once the mandate issues, there’s a defined window to file a renewal if you want a different judge for the remand proceedings. The other events — the original filing date, the end of the trial, or the judge’s assignment — do not set this renewal clock because they don’t reflect the appellate posture that triggers the need for a renewed change of judge.
