LCrRLJ 3.4
                         Personal Appearance Required


  A defendant who has signed a promise to appear for a hearing or trial must
personally appear or submit a signed acknowledgment for the next agreed date.
Failure to personally appear or submit such a signed acknowledgment is grounds
to issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest and to strike all further
hearings until the defendant next appears in person before the court.
Represented defendants may file a waiver of attendance permitting their
attorney to appear on their behalf.  The form attached to these rules may be
used for waiver of appearance.  The defendant must personally appear at trial,
at arraignments for all domestic violence offenses, and for preliminary
appearances following an arrest and release for driving under the influence or
physical control charges.
