27.03.070 Pretrial Motions.
Any defense or objection which is capable of determination other than at trial and which is not required to be raised during arraignment may be raised prior to trial by a written motion. All substantive motions must be raised prior to trial.
(1) Pretrial motions may include:
(A) Motions for use of interpreter;
(B) Motion for continuance of trial;
(C) Motion to dismiss complaint for lack of jurisdiction or for failure to charge an offense;
(D) Motion for Relief from Prejudicial Joinder.
(E) Motion for Pretrial Conference. At any time after the filing of the complaint, the Court, upon motion of any party or upon its own motion, may order one or more conferences to consider such matters that will promote a fair and expeditious trial. At the conclusion of the conference, the judge shall prepare and file an order of the matters agreed upon;
(F) Motion to Suppress Evidence. A motion to suppress evidence may be made when it is learned through discovery or other pretrial procedures that an opposing party intends to introduce evidence that is inadmissible under these rules.
(2) Any defense to lack of jurisdiction or for failure to charge an offense may be raised at any stage of the proceedings by the defense or sua sponte by the Court.
(3) A motion in limine, made in writing, may be raised at any stage of the proceedings, including at trial. A motion in limine must concern only procedural issues.
(4) Motions made under this rule must be in writing and supported by the reasons for the motion, and the motion must be filed no later than 10 days before the trial date. Such motions must be served on the opposing party simultaneously with the filing of the motion. Response in opposition to such motions must be made in writing and supported by the reasons for the motion, and the motion must be filed no later than five days before the trial date. Responses in opposition must be served simultaneously with the filing of the motion. The judge, at their discretion, may direct that any motion be made orally.
(5) The judge may enter judgment on pretrial motions solely on any papers filed, or they may set a date and time for hearing of pretrial motions.
