Judge Eric M. Schooley

Applies to

Electronic ticket

When an electronically produced ticket is issued at the scene, the officer must provide the defendant a paper copy.

Applies to

Original complaint

The original complaint and attached documents must be filed with all required filing fees, cost deposits, and other costs and fees paid.

Applies to

Motion

Every filed motion must be accompanied by an entry.

The date and time of receipt of any document is the date and time imprinted on the document by the facsimile machine receiving the transmission.

If a fax lacks the required cover-page information, the clerk may file it or place it in the failed-fax file; a document placed there is not considered filed.

An accepted fax filing is considered filed when the clerk time-stamps it, not when it was transmitted.

Pleadings and motions must be served on opposing counsel or, if a party is unrepresented, on that opposing party under the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure.

After counsel enters an appearance, all court-filed documents and court entries must be served on that counsel.

The defendant and any counsel present must receive written notice of the pretrial hearing date before leaving court.

A continuance request for a case set for trial must be filed in writing or by fax at least seven days before trial.

A written continuance request must include the case caption and number, reason, scheduled trial date and time, a signed statement that the other party was notified, and the requester’s or attorney’s signature.

A continuance motion must be submitted in writing with an entry and a supporting brief stating the reasons for the continuance.
