                                 FMLCrR 6.1.1
                                 TRIAL BY JURY


    (E)  Any case confirmed for jury trial at the readiness hearing shall
remain set for a jury trial.  On the last regular court day preceding the trial
date, the prosecuting authority and defense attorney or defendant, if appearing
pro se, shall confirm the jury trial telephonically to the clerk of the court
before 3 p.m., or advise that some other disposition has been reached.  Failure
to confirm the jury trial as required shall be deemed a waiver of the right to
a jury trial, cause the jury to be stricken, and the matter set before the
bench.  If the failure to confirm the jury trial is on behalf of the defendant
and the defendant requests that the case be reset before a jury, then the
defendant is deemed to have extended the time for trial to the date next
scheduled for jury trial.

    (F)  Any case confirmed as a jury trial and not proceeding to a jury
trial, whether by entry of a plea or otherwise, shall be subject to terms,
including costs for the unused jury, witness fees, and other terms deemed
appropriate by the Court.
