                         Jury Trial Readiness Hearing


A Jury Trial Readiness Hearing will be scheduled during the week prior to the
jury term week.  The Defendant must be present with his or her attorney.  The
failure of the Defendant to appear at this hearing, unless excused by the
Court, may result in the issuance of a bench warrant and the jury trial being
stricken, and shall be deemed a waiver of the Defendant's Right to Speedy
Trial.  At the hearing the following matters will be concluded:

     1.  All plea negotiations;

     2.  Exchange of witness lists;

     3.  Providing any discovery not previously completed by the Pre-Trial
         Conference; and,

     4.  Motions on legal issues arising subsequent to the Jury Pre-Trial Conference
         or on issues arising due to new evidence.
