Tulsa Cnty. Dist. Ct. Local R. (Criminal/Traffic) RULE CR 4

If there is more than one pending felony case against a defendant, the

Arraignment Judge shall assign any subsequent felony cases to the District Judge with

the lowest pending felony case number. If a subsequent felony case charges multiple

defendants, one or more of whom have pending felony cases, the subsequent felony

case shall be assigned randomly.

The Clerk shall prepare an Order of Reassignment to be signed by the directing

Judge for each case reassigned in this manner. The Order of Reassignment

is to be filed in its respective case with a copy provided to the District Judge to whom

the case was reassigned.

For purposes of this rule, the term 'pending felony case' is defined as:

1. a felony offense with an undisposed felony arrest warrant;

2. a felony offense with an undisposed felony bench warrant for failure to appear;

3. a felony offense with a suspended or deferred sentence which has not expired;

4. a felony offense with a future pending court date.

The term 'pending felony case' shall not refer to any pending misdemeanor

offense (even if that offense bears a felony case number) unless the offense was

disposed of by a District Judge.

The term 'pending felony case' shall not refer to any pending court cost

proceeding in a previously numbered felony matter.
