Case Management and Scheduling Orders

Print Guideline

The Court does not hold initial status conferences in criminal cases. Rather, it will issue a Scheduling Order. Requests to modify or to enlarge the calendar dates must be made by motion and include a stipulation to extend time and, if the proposed dates affect the trial date, a waiver under the Speedy Trial Act. The Court will routinely allow one extension but will often schedule a status conference before deciding any additional extensions.
