                                NON-APPEARANCE


Upon the non-appearance of a defendant at the time and place scheduled by the
court and a Bench Warrant issued, the defendant's bail or bond may be ordered
forfeited with or without further proceedings upon motion of the prosecuting
attorney or upon the court's own motion.  If the necessary witnesses do not
appear at the time scheduled by the court, the court may dismiss such action
unless a good cause for such non-appearance is shown. No such action shall be
taken until thirty (30) minutes after the scheduled appearance time.
