     (b) When Ordered--On Motion. The court may order a change of venue to
another district in the same county, if any, or otherwise to an adjacent
district in another county if the defendant consents:
     (1) Upon written agreement of the prosecuting authority and the
defendant; or
     (2) Upon motion of the defendant, supported by affidavit, that the
defendant believes he or she cannot receive a fair trial in the district
where the action is pending; or
     (3) Upon motion of either party that the convenience of witnesses or
the ends of justice would be served by such change; or
     (4) Upon motion of either party or the court, to a district where a
custodial facility is located, if the defendant is incarcerated therein and
transporting the defendant is not practical.
     (5) Upon the courts own motion, if all of the judges of a district are
disqualified from hearing the case. The court may also order a change of
venue to the district in which the county seat is located, if the defendant
consents.
     (c) Procedure on Transfer. When the court orders a change of venue it
shall direct that all the papers and proceedings be certified to the court
of the proper district. The defendant and subpoenaed witnesses shall have a
continuing obligation to appear and attend as required.
