I. ATTIRE:

Defendants, like all other parties, ordinarily should dress for court in suitable
business attire. Defendants who are in custody are responsible for making their own
arrangements for clothing; neither the court nor the marshal’s service provides clothing
for defendants to wear in court. Defendants who fail to make advance arrangements for
clothing will be tried in prison attire. Trials will not be continued because of a
defendant's failure to arrange for clothing.

J. PROFESSIONALISM :

The highest levels of professionalism and decorum are expected of all
attorneys practicing before this court. To that end, all attorneys are required to
review and adhere to the principles set out in the Code of Pretrial and Trial Conduct of
the American College of Trial Lawyers, that can be found at:

The parties shall immediately advise the Court's secretary and the Clerk of the
Court of any plea bargain agreement and arrange for the rearraignments of the _
defendant in sufficient time prior to trial to permit the excusing of witnesses and jurors
and revision of the Court calendar should the negotiated plea be acceptable to the
Court. Such arrangement, unless the Court otherwise provides, shall be accomplished
no later than four (4) calendar days prior to the trial date set in this order.

Absent exceptional circumstances that are both unforeseeable and unforeseen,
in order for notice of the defendant's intention to plead guilty to be considered “timely”
under United States Sentencing Guidelines § 3E1.1(b)(2), notice must be provided on

or before the fourth business day prior to the scheduled trial to both (a) the Court’s

secretary or courtroom deputy clerk and (b) counsel for the government. A
