                          TMCLR 3.6
                    SUPPRESSION PROCEDURE


A. Pleadings and Determination regarding Hearing:  Motions
to suppress physical, oral or identification evidence other
than motions pursuant to Rule 3.5 shall be in writing
supported by an affidavit or document as provided in RCW
9A.72.085 or any law amendatory thereto, setting forth the
facts the moving party anticipates will be elicited at a
hearing.  If there are no disputed facts, the court shall
determine whether an evidentiary hearing is required.  If
the court determines that no evidentiary hearing is
required, the court shall set forth its reasons on the
record for not conducting an evidentiary hearing.

B. Time Limits: Pleadings required for compliance with this
rule shall be submitted in writing to the court and the non-
moving party at least 14 days in advance of the request for
a 3.6 hearing.  Responsive pleadings may be submitted within
7 days from date of receipt of the motion for a 3.6 hearing
to the moving party and the court.  Failure to provide
responsive pleadings shall be considered a waiver of the
right to file responsive pleadings.

C. Decision:  The court, on the record, shall state findings
of fact and conclusions of law based upon the pleadings
submitted pursuant to TMCLR 3.6B.
