Court-wide rules

Applies court-wide

Celina Municipal Court, Ohio publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 203 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Filing Requirements

All 71
  • Applies to
    Application for withdrawal of counsel

    An application to withdraw counsel must be accompanied by withdrawal of all pending motions and any jury demand, without prejudicing a later jury demand for a criminal defendant.

  • Applies to
    Order in aid of execution

    Each copy of an order in aid of execution must show the filing attorney’s name at the bottom for the clerk to accept it.

  • Applies to
    Order in aid of execution

    The clerk will not accept an order in aid of execution unless a copy is furnished for each party to be served and one copy for the clerk.

Fees

All 38
  • Fee
    0.05 dollars
    Applies to
    Clerk photocopy

    Clerk-photocopied documents are charged five cents per page.

  • Applies to
    Jury demand waiver

    A party who waives a jury demand within seven days before trial must pay all jury fees and expenses incurred because of the demand.

  • Fee
    750
    Applies to
    Execution

    Unless the clerk orders otherwise, an execution requires a deposit of at least $750 for estimated pickup, storage, other costs, and mileage before any pickup action.

Filing Timing

All 36
  • For computing time, 90 calendar days after judgment is considered after term.

  • Deadline
    10 working days

    Subpoena-service praecipes must be filed at least 10 working days before the required appearance, unless the filer could not timely learn the person’s name or location and that information could not reasonably have been obtained; the stated failure of service is not grounds for a continuance when the rule is not followed.

  • A jury demand must be waived in writing at least seven days before trial to avoid liability for jury fees and expenses; a later waiver requires payment of incurred fees and expenses.

Service

All 22
  • Orders in aid of execution must be served and scheduled pursuant to statute and the civil rules.

  • Service
    Mail

    Service of an order in aid of execution may be made by regular United States mail.

  • Service
    Mail to all parties

    The bailiff must mail the sale notice to the parties and attorneys of record, but failure to mail it does not invalidate the sale.
