                                RULE 8
   REQUIREMENTS FOR PAYMENT OF JURY FEES UPON CANCELLATION OF JURY TRIAL


     If a defendant who has been charged with a criminal violation has
requested a jury trial, and if that jury panel is summoned and the
Court has incurred the expense, or will incur the expense because the
jury has been brought in, and if the defendant waives his or her right
to a jury trial less than 48 hours prior to the date for which the
jury trial had been scheduled, or otherwise causes the excusal or
release of  the jury from hearing the case, the defendant shall be
responsible for payment to the Court of the amount of the actual costs
incurred by the Court for jury fee payments and mileage
reimbursements. Provided, however, that the Judge/Commissioner
presiding over the case specifically determines that payment of those
fees and costs shall be waived for good cause shown.

     Any such jury fee costs imposed by the Court for payment and
reimbursement of jury fees and mileage reimbursement shall be paid by
the defendant as a condition of suspended sentence, if any, or as
otherwise directed by the Court.
