Superior Court of DeKalb County Filing Bundling Requirements

CRITICAL

The plaintiff or petitioner must compile and submit the consolidated pre-trial order.

Plaintiff/Petitioner shall be responsible for compiling and submitting the CPTO.

CRITICALCriminal cases

Each motion must address a single issue, be filed separately, identify the specific statement or evidence, and provide a suppression theory.

Each Motion shall be limited to a single issue and filed separately. Thus, a general Motion seeking to suppress all statements or all evidence is insufficient and will be denied. The Motion must identify the specific statement or evidence that the movant is seeking to suppress, and must provide a theory of suppression.

CRITICALCriminal cases

Motions in limine may not be combined; each must be filed as a separate document.

Each such Motion shall be a separate document.

WARNING

A motion should contain all arguments and citations in one document rather than being accompanied by a separate supporting brief.

Motions should include all arguments and citations to authority in a single document; there is no need for a “cover Motion” and separate “brief in support.”

INFO

Motions should consolidate all arguments and citations in one document rather than using a cover motion and a separate supporting brief.

Motions should include all arguments and citations to authority in a single document; there is no need for a “cover Motion” and separate “brief in support.”
