S.D. W. Va. LR Cr P 10.1
Arraignments
(a) Notice of Date and Time.
The attorney for the government shall timely notify the defendant of the date and time of defendant's arraignment and plea to an indictment. The government attorney shall furnish a copy of the notice concurrently to defendant's counsel if counsel's name and address are shown on the docket or known to the government. When the indictment is based on substantially similar allegations that form the basis of an earlier complaint before a magistrate judge, the government attorney shall notify counsel who appeared for defendant before the magistrate judge of the date and time of the arraignment. If a defendant is without counsel, the government attorney shall promptly notify the appropriate judicial officer of that fact, so early provision of counsel may be considered.
(b) Notice of Motion to Dismiss.
The government attorney shall serve on the defendant's counsel or on an unrepresented defendant a notice of a motion to dismiss a complaint pending before a judicial officer.
(c) No Further Notice.
No other or further notice of arraignment and plea or motion to dismiss need be given by the clerk except on order of the court.
