Arraignments

Your scheduled arraignment date and time will be listed at the bottom of the citation. At arraignments, the judge will only hear Guilty, Nolo Contendere Pleas, and anyone wanting to do a Pre-trial. All Not Guilty Pleas will be reset to another court date.

Files without signed reset notices will remain on the Arraignment Calendar, and defendants will be charged with Failure to appear if they miss the Arraignment Date. Please verify with the clerks after the reset notice is faxed or e-mailed to ensure the clerks' receipt. Court Services will allow only one extension for Arraignment Dates. You must sign for an extension, and you will be reset for a trial date.
