(b) A trial date, based upon the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act (18 U.S.C. §3161 et

seq.) shall be set at the time of arraignment. The magistrate judge is authorized to

address all requests for change of a trial date; however, any such request made within two

(2) weeks of the trial date shall be addressed only by the assigned judge.

(c) At arraignment, the court shall issue a trial scheduling order setting deadlines for the

production of discovery, the filing of pretrial motions, responses and replies thereto, the

filing of trial documents, such as witness lists and exhibits lists, etc., and pretrial

conference dates.

(d) Duty of Defendant to Disclose True Name. At arraignment, the defendant shall be

informed that if the name by which he is indicted or charged is not his true name, he must

then declare his true legal name. The proceedings shall continue against the defendant

under the name in the indictment or information, unless the defendant declares a different

true name. If the defendant declares a different true name, the court shall order that the

caption of the indictment or information be changed accordingly, and the court’s records

shall show the true name of the defendant and the alias name under which the defendant

was indicted or charged.
