BTM-CrRLJ 4.5 (a)
                               JURY CONFIRMATION


	(i)  Confirmation Required.  No later than two (2) days prior to
the date of the assigned jury trial, the defendant, if appearing pro se, or
the defendant's attorney, if represented by legal counsel, and the City
Prosecutor shall contact the Court Clerk between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and
confirm the case is going to proceed to jury trial or that another
disposition has been reached.

	(ii) Failure to Confirm.  Failure of a party to confirm the jury
trial or to advise the Court Clerk that another disposition has been reached
may cause the case to be stricken from the jury trial calendar.  Failure of
the defendant, if appearing pro se, or the defendant's attorney, if
represented by legal counsel, to confirm the jury trial or to advise the
Court Clerk that another disposition has been reached shall constitute a
waiver of the defendant's speedy trial rights.

	(iii) Failure to Appear.  Failure of the defendant to appear on the
jury trial date may result in the issuance of a bench warrant for the
defendant's arrest and forfeiture of any posted bail, unless a disposition
has been confirmed by all parties.  Any disposition will be heard on the
next regularly scheduled court day unless an alternative date is set by the
parties and is approved by the judge, judge pro tem or court commissioner.

	(iv) Sanctions.  Any case confirmed for jury under this subsection
and not proceeding to jury trial shall be subject to such sanctions,
including but not limited to jury costs, witness fees and terms, as deemed
appropriate by the trial judge.
