Return To PreviousDLC Q37: Other than the requirements under Local Rule 116.5, what, if any, practices do you have in regard to status conferences in criminal cases?
DLC A37: The Local Rules require the submission of a joint status memorandum seven days before a status conference. Many memos, aside from being somewhat bare in terms of the required content, are filed on the eve of the status conference, or not at all. To encourage greater compliance, we issue an order as soon as the memorandum is late, requiring the parties to submit a responsive memorandum by the close of business that day.
