RULE 9.
                    MOTIONS AND HEARINGS.


     A)   Pretrial Hearings.  A pretrial hearing shall be set in
all cases which have not been resolved at the arraignment.
The city attorney, the defendant, and the defense attorney,
if any, shall attend the pretrial hearing.  At the pretrial
hearing, the parties shall inform the court whether
discovery has been completed, whether a plea bargain
agreement has been reached, and if not, whether the case
shall be continued, set for a bench trial, or set for a jury
trial if a waiver of jury trial has not been previously
made.  If the case is set for a jury trial, an additional
pretrial hearing shall be scheduled at least one (1) week
prior to the date set for the jury trial.

     B)   Motions - All motions including, but not limited to
amendments to the  charges, for continuance and CrRLJ 3.5
hearing shall be heard at the pretrial hearing.  Motions
shall not be considered at the time of trial unless they
could not have been raised at the pretrial hearing or the
court on its own motion continued a matter to the time of trial.

     (1) Filing and Service of Motions - All motions including
supporting briefs, memoranda, documents and affidavits shall
be filed and served at least twenty (20) days prior to the
scheduled hearing date.  The responding party shall file and
serve any responding motions, briefs, memoranda, documents
and affidavits at least five (5) days prior to hearing date.
The court retains the authority to waive this requirement
for good cause shown or if justice otherwise requires.  The
moving party shall notify the court administrator at the
time of the setting of any motion herein if oral testimony
is required and shall also provide to the court
administrator the estimated time required, for the motion
hearing.  This rule does not authorize oral testimony when
the facts are undisputed or can adequately be presented by
affidavit and/or other documentary evidence.

     (2) Judge Working Copy - A copy of all motions, briefs,
memoranda, documents and affidavits and responding motions,
briefs, memoranda, documents and affidavits shall be
provided to the judge after being filed with the court.

     (3) Motion Hearing Procedure - Oral argument on motions not
requiring testimony shall be limited to fifteen (15) minutes
for each side unless the Judge allows additional time, in
which case the motion may be placed at the end of the court
docket.  Hearings requiring testimony shall be heard at the
end of the docket or on a date and time to be scheduled by
the court administrator. Failure to comply with these rules
may result in the striking of the motion, denial of motion
or imposition of terms.

     C)  Subpoenas.  A party wishing the attendance of a witness
at a hearing shall be responsible for securing a subpoena
for the witness except that the city attorney shall subpoena
necessary witnesses for a CrRLJ 3.5 hearing if the defendant
or defense attorney has requested in writing such an
attendance and has given notice for such motion as set forth
herein.   A party requesting the court to subpoena a witness
shall provide the name and address of such witness, and,
unless found to be indigent, payment of $50.00 per requested
subpoena to pay for the witness and mileage fees, at least
ten (10) days prior to the date set for trial.

     D)   Attendance Required.  The Defendant must attend every
scheduled court proceeding.  If a defendant fails to attend
a scheduled court proceeding, a warrant may issue for
his/her arrest and all the scheduled court dates, including
trial dates, may be stricken at the discretion of the court.
The time period from the date of the hearing missed by a
defendant until his/her next appearance in court, shall not
be included in any time limitation requirements.
