Administrative Order

Designation of a Local Rule—Formal Arraignment

 And Now, this 5th day of July, 2022, it is Ordered that effective thirty (30) days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, any previous Local Court Rule or administrative order, or part thereof, which is in conflict with this Order is repealed or vacated, until otherwise Ordered. All other Local Court Rules are to remain in effect.

Upon the filing of an information by the Greene County District Attorney, the Greene County Clerk of Court need not schedule formal arraignment within ten (10) days of that filing, but instead shall schedule the matter for formal arraignment at the next available time for formal arraignment.
The District Court shall provide scheduling notice of the time and place for formal arraignment in the Greene County Court of Common Pleas.
A written waiver of formal arraignment can be filed by a Defendant who is represented by counsel at any time up to and including the time scheduled for formal arraignment. For the purpose of determining time limits for action regarding the following: Bill of Particulars, Discovery, Notice of Alibi Defense, and any Omnibus Pre-Trial Motions, the time shall commence from the date scheduled for formal arraignment, not the date of the filing of any waiver of formal arraignment.

 This Order shall designate Greene County Local Rule G571 Formal Arraignment.
