LCrR50.1 Related Cases: Reassignment of Cases as Related
Two or more criminal cases may be related if all of the defendants named in
each of the cases are the same and none of the cases includes defendants not
named in any of the other cases. A case may be reassigned to the calendar of
another judge as related if it is found to be related to another case and it meets
the criteria established by LR40.4(b) for reassigning civil cases. The procedures
set out in LR40.4(c) and (d) shall be followed where the reassignment of
a criminal case based on relatedness is sought.
