Rule CR 4. Consolidation of Felony Cases
Currentness
If there is more than one pending felony cases against a defendant, the Arraignment Judge shall assign any subsequent felony cases to the District Judge with the lowest pending felony case number. If a subsequent felony case charges multiple defendants, one or more of whom have pending felony cases, the subsequent felony case shall be assigned randomly.
The Clerk shall prepare an Order of Reassignment to be signed by the directing Judge for each case reassigned in this manner. The Order of Reassignment is to be filed in its respective case with a copy provided to the District Judge to whom the case was reassigned.
For purposes of this rule, the term ‘pending felony case’ is defined as:
1. a felony offense with an undisposed felony arrest warrant;
2. a felony offense with an undisposed felony bench warrant for failure to appear;
3. a felony offense with a suspended or deferred sentence which has not expired;
4. a felony offense with a future pending court date.
The term ‘pending felony case’ shall not refer to any pending Felony Domestic Violence (FDV) matter or misdemeanor offense (even if that offense bears a felony case number).
The term ‘pending felony case’ shall not refer to any pending court cost proceeding in a previously numbered felony matter.
