LCrR 4.5
                          OMNIBUS HEARING AND MOTIONS


     (d) Criminal Motions. Criminal Motions under CrR 3.5 shall ordinarily be
heard by the assigned trial judge.  However, CrR 3.5 motions may be specially
set prior to trial date by the Chief Criminal Judge upon a showing of good
cause.  Criminal motions under CrR 3.6 shall be noted with the Chief Criminal
Judge, who will either schedule the matter before the Chief Criminal Judge or
assign it to another judge.  Motions under CrR 3.6 shall be heard at least 14
days before trial and shall be accompanied by all supporting materials required
by CrR 3.6.  The moving party will file and serve all memoranda, affidavits and
certificates no later than the second Tuesday preceding the hearing date.  The
responding party shall file and serve all responsive memoranda, affidavits and
certificates no later than 5:00 p.m. the Monday prior to the hearing date.  Any
reply memoranda must be served no later than 12:00 p.m. the Wednesday prior to
the hearing.  The judge who will hear the CrR 3.6 motion will, pursuant to that
rule, determine if an evidentiary hearing is required.  The time limit
prescribed by this rule may be waived by the Chief Criminal Judge upon a
showing of newly discovered evidence or a basis for the motion that could not
have been developed by an exercise of due diligence.
