Ind. Criminal Rule 4.1

Effective January 1, 2024

(A) The court must compute the time periods under Rule 4 as follows:

(1) In computing any time period under this rule, each and every day must be counted,

including every Saturday, Sunday and holiday.

(2) If the last day of the time period falls on a day the court is closed, the period runs until

the next day the court is open.

(3) In computing the period of delay caused by a motion to continue, the delay is measured from the original trial date to the rescheduled trial date. In the event no trial date has

yet been scheduled and a pretrial hearing is continued, the period of delay is measured

from the original hearing date to the rescheduled hearing date.

(4) When granting or ordering a continuance, the court must designate whether the delay

is excluded from the Rule 4 time period due to the act of the defendant, court congestion,

or emergency.

(B) Time Periods Extended. If the defendant causes any delay during the last thirty days of

any period of time set by operation of this rule, the state may petition the court for an extension of such period for an additional thirty days.
