CHAPTER 6. CRIMINAL LAW 6.0 TRIAL READINESS CONFERENCE A Trial Readiness conference shall be set prior to the scheduled trial date. It is the standing order of the Court that trial counsel shall appear at the conference, and shall be prepared to meaningfully participate to accurately represent the status of trial readiness, including but not limited to witness availability, counsel’s scheduling problems, and any other matters which could impact the ability of the case to commence trial as scheduled. It is the further standing order of the Court that if, due to the counsel’s unavailability, any other attorney appears on behalf of counsel at the conference, trial counsel will ensure that the attorney appearing on his or her behalf is prepared to meaningfully participate in the conference as required by this rule, and any attorney so appearing on behalf of trial counsel shall be under an affirmative duty to so ac-quaint him or herself with the case so as to be able to meaningfully participate. “Meaningfully Participate,” as used in this rule, expressly means possessing full authority to dispose of the case. Effective 7/1/07 6.1 DISCOVERY Discovery in criminal actions is reciprocal in nature and is governed by PnC §§ 1054 through 1054.9. There shall be a standing order in each criminal action requiring all parties and their attorneys to comply with PnC §§ 1054-1054.9. The order is deemed to have been made and communicated to all counsel at the time of arraignment. Before a party may seek court enforcement of any of the disclosures required by law, the party shall make an informal request of opposing counsel for the desired materials and information in the manner required by Penal Code section 1054.5(b). Failure to make such request shall be grounds for denial of a discovery motion. Informal requests should be presented to opposing counsel in writing. Motions for discovery shall be focused upon specific items, which remain in dispute after presentation of informal requests. “Boilerplate” discovery motions are disfavored. Counsel shall meet and confer before the hearing of any discovery motion in a good faith effort to resolve or narrow the disputed issues. Effective 1/1/05, Amended 7/1/07; Amended 1/01/10 6.2 CONTINUANCES No matters will be continued, even by stipulation of the parties, except with the approval of the Court for good cause shown. Compliance with PnC § 1050 is required unless excused by the Court. Effective 1/1/05, Amended 7/1/07 6.3 JURY INSTRUCTIONS The People and the defense shall, in each case, lodge copies of proposed jury instructions with the clerk no later than the swearing of the jury. Compliance with this procedure is without prejudice to later requests to add or withdraw proposed instructions. Effective 7/1/07; 6.4 BRIEFS Briefs shall not exceed 18 pages without leave of Court. Effective 7/1/22 6.5 EVIDENCE AT VEHICLE INFRACTION TRIALS Pursuant to VC § 40901, at the trial of any alleged infraction involving violation of the Vehicle Code or any local ordinance enacted pursuant to the Vehicle Code testimony and other relevant evidence may be introduced in the form of a notice to appear issued pursuant to § 40500 of the VC and, notwithstanding Division 10, commencing with § 1200 of the EC, a business record or receipt. Effective 7/1/07 6.6 LODGING OF SPEED SURVEY EVIDENCE Insofar as the prosecution has the burden as part of its prima facie case of establishing that the evidence at trial is not based on a speed trap (People v. Peterson (1986) 181 Cal.App.3d.Supp.7, 8) the Clerk will make available a place for the lodging of certified copies of traffic surveys. This arrangement is an accom-modation only, and ensuring that the lodged surveys are current is not the responsibility of the Court. Effective 7/1/07
