         MOTIONS AND APPLICATIONS - NOTICE - SERVICE


     All amendments to the charges, pleas, or pre-trial
motions shall be made at the time of the pre-trial hearing.
Motions shall not be considered at the time of trial unless
they could not have been raised at the time of the pre-trial
hearing or the judge at the time of the pre-trial hearing
expressly continues such motions to the time of trial.
Absent good cause, motions for dismissal or suppression of
evidence in criminal cases shall be in writing and shall be
provided to the prosecutor at least 48 hours before the pre-
trial hearing.  Witnesses necessary to establish issues of
fact or law on motions shall be subpoenaed by moving party.

     In the event lengthy motions or motions requiring
witnesses to be subpoenaed or scheduled cannot be heard at
the pre-trial conference due to time limitations or
scheduling conflict, the moving party shall notify the
clerk's office so that the matter may be given a special
setting.
