Under Rule 41 of the Local Criminal Rules, any and all search warrants or seizure warrants related to a criminal case assigned to Judge Kness are to be brought to him for consideration, not to the duty magistrate judge, the designated magistrate judge, or the emergency judge.

Rule 41 of the Local Criminal Rules states in pertinent part:

LCrR41 Search Warrants

(b)  A district judge may issue a standing order that search warrants or seizure warrants related to a case assigned to that judge must be brought to that judge.
