County Civil Criminal — Misdemeanor

Pretrial Motions Not Heard by the Transferring Judge Are WAIVED — Trial Division 3

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.
