E.D. Va. Local Criminal Rule 12

(A) General: Counsel for the parties shall confer concerning pretrial disclosure, as required by Rule

16.1(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, before arraignment. Within fourteen (14) calendar

days from the date of arraignment, or such other time as may be fixed by the Court, the parties shall file

all desired motions (1) challenging the sufficiency of the indictment, information, warrant, or violation

notice, (2) raising any issues of venue or jurisdiction, (3) for discovery or production, (4) to suppress

evidence, (5) for any mental examination, (6) objecting to use by the opposing party of any particular

evidence known by a party which may be subject to pretrial ruling, and (7) raising any other matter

capable of being raised by a pretrial motion. All motions, unless otherwise directed by the Court, shall be

accompanied by a written brief setting forth a concise statement of the facts and supporting reasons, along

with a citation of the authorities upon which the movant relied. A response to any motion shall be filed

within fourteen (14) calendar days after the filing of the motion or such other time as may be fixed by the

Court.

(B) Style of Motions: All motions and the responses in criminal cases shall bear a caption which

identifies the moving party and describes the general nature and the purpose of the motion. A defendant

may adopt a motion filed by another defendant only by filing a separate pleading for each motion that the

defendant wishes to adopt. This separate pleading must bear the same caption as the original pleading

that the defendant wishes to adopt. A single motion to adopt more than one pleading of another defendant

is not permitted.
