S.D. Ala. Crim. L.R. 17.1
Pretrial Conferences
(a) In any case that is unusually complex, by reason of the number of parties,
the novelty of legal or factual issues presented, the volume of discovery
materials, or other factors peculiar to that case, the government must notify the
Clerk when the indictment or information is filed that the case is appropriate
for a pretrial scheduling conference pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 17.1. If the
government has not suggested a pretrial scheduling conference, the defense
may do so at the initial appearance or arraignment.
(b) A pretrial scheduling conference pursuant to this Rule and Fed. R. Crim. P.
17.1 may be set by the Judge conducting the arraignment, by the Judge
assigned to pretrial proceedings, or by the Judge assigned to preside over the
trial of the case. At a pretrial scheduling conference, the Court may set
deadlines for filing pretrial motions, briefing, discovery and disclosure by all
parties, hearings, trial, or any other dates that will further the ends of justice.
