PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

This is a mandatory conference between you and Assistant City Attorney (prosecutor) at which time you will have an opportunity to discuss your case. If you do not reach a plea agreement approved by the Judge, you will have to decide whether you want your case to be heard by a Judge (Bench Trial) or a jury (Jury Trial).

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE

If you are set for a pretrial conference, bench trial or jury trial and you want to request a continuance, it must be presented to the court in writing by certified mail, or in person at least 7 days before your scheduled court date. When the request is received by the court, it is forwarded to the presiding judge at which time it is approved or not approved. You must check back with the court to obtain the judge's decision.
