D. Ariz. LRCrim 16.1
Confessions and Admissions
(a) Written Notice of Statements to be Used. Consistent with Rule 16(a)(1)
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, unless otherwise ordered, the United States
Attorney shall give written notice to the Defendant through the Defendant’s attorney of
any and all written or oral confessions, admissions, or statements of the Defendant which
the government intends to use during the course of the trial.
(b) Objections to Above. The Defendant's attorney shall, unless otherwise
ordered, file a motion setting forth objections, if any, which Defendant may have to the
admissibility of such confessions, admissions, or statements. Upon request of the
Defendant's attorney, the Court shall set a hearing to consider such objections and
determine the admissibility of the alleged confessions, admissions, or statements.
However, no evidentiary hearing or oral argument need be set or held unless the
Defendant’s moving papers allege facts sufficient to enable the Court to conclude that
contested issues of fact or law exist.

Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
