    (k)  Scheduling.  Each criminal case set for trial shall be scheduled for a
status conference before trial.  Failure of the Defendant to appear at the
status conference shall be grounds for striking any trial date and issuance of
a warrant for the Defendant's arrest.  Defendants who appear at the status
conference but who have failed to make necessary contact with counsel prior to
the status conference may be detained in lieu of bail to facilitate future
contact and terms may be imposed upon such a defendant as a condition for a
continuance necessary to facilitate contact between attorney and client.  The
court may continue the case pursuant to CrRLJ 3.3(d)(1)
