Judge Brown (14-item FSC template, the county-criminal exemplar): in-person default under his Standing Order on Remote Appearances; filing an NOA without waiving speedy trial obligates defendant AND counsel to appear at arraignment; his AI paragraph points to statewide Rule 2.515(d) (compliant).

Judge Wolfe enforces AO S-2024-062(28)(A) with teeth: every pretrial motion in a case transferred to TD-3 must be scheduled and heard by the original transferring judge — failure to do so timely is deemed a waiver.
Judge Rice mirrors the F-division waiver with an exception: all motions other than motions in limine must be filed AND heard before the Pretrial Conference or they are waived; limine motions must at least be filed by then.
