(e) Pre-Trial Hearings.
At arraignment the Judge will schedule a pre-trial hearing.
The parties shall confer in good faith prior to the pre-
trial hearing in an attempt to reach an agreed disposition.
The defendant shall be required to attend the pre-trial
hearing unless excused by the Court. Failure to attend may
result in issuance of a bench warrant and/or forfeiture of
any bond. If the case is not resolved at the pre-trial
hearing, a trial date will be set. A readiness hearing
shall also be set one week before the trial date. The
defendant shall be required to attend the readiness hearing.

facility shall be accompanied by a recommendation from the
Probation Office, or such other Court Appointee authorized

(3) When the Court denies the Petition for a Deferred
Prosecution timely filed under this rule, the case shall
proceed to trial as previously set.
(4) In the event the Petition for Deferred Prosecution is
approved by the Court, the defendant may be under the
supervision of the Probation Department, or Court Appointee
pursuant to Section 10.05.170 of the Revised Code of
Washington. A defendant who refuses, fails, or neglects to
