                 PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE JUDGE-APPEARANCE-BAIL


     (d) Appearance by Defendant's Lawyer

     (7) Attorneys retained by defendants, or public defenders who have assumed
representation of defendants must promptly serve written notice of their
appearance upon the prosecuting attorney, and file the same with the Clerk. The
notice of appearance shall be contained in a separate document.

     (e) Counter-Appearance. A defendant, in response to a Summons and
Complaint, Citation and Notice to Appear, or a Jail Release Appearance form,
may first appear at the Court Appearance Counter to obtain an Arraignment or
Pre-Trial Conference date. A defendant wishing to be represented by the Public
Defender shall be referred to the Probation Department for a determination of
eligibility.

     (g) For the Municipal Court of the City of Cheney the requirement for
appearance by the Defendant in person within one judicial day after arrest as
set forth in RCW 46.61.50571 is waived; however, such defendants are required
to appear in person at the Municipal Court of the City of Cheney at the next
regularly-scheduled Court day of such Court. The Judge assigned to the
Municipal Court shall file in advance a schedule of Court dates with the Clerk
of the Municipal Court of the City of Cheney.
