Rule 20: Post-Trial Matters
20.1 All post-trial motions may be made orally to the Court at the conclusion of the trial of
a case. Any post-trial motion made thereafter must be in writing, accompanied by
reasonable notice to the Court and adverse parties, evidence of which shall be filed
with the Court Clerk. Copies of post-trial motions must be duly served upon adverse
parties. All post-trial motions challenging a conviction or sentence imposed in a
Municipal Court case must be filed no later than ten (10) days from the date of
sentence.
20.2 Once the Judge has made a determination of guilt following a plea or trial and has
ordered a pre-sentence investigation, imposed a sentence or granted a parole or
probation, such Judge entering such order(s) may determine all matters concerning
such case to the exclusion of another Judge. Any case in which a defendant is
convicted at trial, or by plea of guilty or no contest, before a Pro Tempore Judge may
be transferred by the Administrative Judge to any other Municipal Court Judge, or
Judge pro tempore, for the determination of any post-trial motions and sentencing as
may be appropriate or necessary.
