LCrR 4.5. Omnibus Hearings

Local Criminal Rule

(d) Motions. All rulings of the Court at omnibus hearings or otherwise made in the criminal motion department shall be binding on the parties and shall not be relitigated at trial.
(i) Waiver. If there will be no pretrial motions or hearings in a case, and all parties agree that an omnibus hearing would not be beneficial, waiver of the hearing may be requested by written stipulation on a form provided by the Court. Such a request constitutes an assurance that the parties will be ready to begin jury selection immediately on the morning of trial.
(j) Preparation. Discovery shall be completed to the extent possible during the plea bargaining period following initial arraignment. The parties shall have completed and furnished to the criminal motion Judge and to counsel copies of their respective omnibus applications before the hearing.
