Pretrial Conferences

activein force · 2015-08-01 – presentact-effective-date

(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.
