If someone is booked into the Jail on new charges or warrants (with the exception of municipal warrants for which you should contact the municipality to learn court information), they will normally go to court between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. the following business day. If they are booked in on a warrant Friday or during the weekend, they will normally go to court Monday morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

Florida law prohibits the settlement of a Felony charge unless the client is present in Court. However, Misdemeanor charges, such as most DUIs, may be settled without requiring your personal appearance. This is referred to as a “Plea in Absentia” and requires the approval of the Court.

The jail does not provide court date and time information as it is always changing, instead we ask that you contact the court that will be hearing the case. Some of the court contact information is below:

Yes. There is at least one appearance, although not technically in "court", that is required whether under Chapter 7 or 13. It is an initial meeting held about 30 days after filing. The appointed Trustee presides over this meeting; it is not attended by the Judge, and it is designed to permit creditors and interested persons to ask questions concerning the Debtor's assets or financial affairs.

If "Court Appearance Required" is checked on the Complaint and Summons, you must appear in court at the time and place indicated, even if you wish to plead guilty. If "Court Appearance Required" is not checked on the Complaint and Summons, you must still appear in court if: you wish to have a trial; the charge is not listed on the State or Local Supplemental Violations Bureau Schedule; personal injury is involved. A criminal charge always requires your appearance in court.

A defendant can request an extension of his/her first appearance by contacting the Court Clerk. This extension must be requested before 5:00pm on the day prior to the original date of appearance. The Court Clerk can only schedule your next appearance date out two(2) weeks unless approved by the Judge.

Again, these are voluntary suggestions. Dress appropriately for court, or as you would for a job interview.

If you have spoken to the Riley County Attorney's Office and have submitted a diversion application, enter a plea of not guilty and inform the Court that you have applied for a diversion. At that time, the Court will schedule your next appearance. If your diversion is granted and filed you will not need to appear at the next scheduled hearing. However, if your diversion is rejected you WILL need to appear at your next scheduled court appearance.

If you are the defendant, you must attend all court appearances. If you have a problem before the day of a misdemeanor trial, you have to file a motion to get a new court date. Forms are available at the courthouse at 115 N. Church. If a problem occurs on the day of the trial, call the judge as quickly as possible. In felony trials, call your attorney as soon as possible. Note that only the judge can grant you a continuance

Your call will be transferred to the County Attorney's office and they will have to grant the continuance.

The Public Defender can provide general information regarding the court process. We cannot discuss the specifics of your case until we are appointed. The Public Defender provides representation in the following types of cases: misdemeanor, felony, paternity, traffic, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, child protection, Post conviction and appeals.

If you were not immediately charged with a crime, that doesn’t mean charges cannot be filed later, after an investigation. Depending on the case, after a complaint is filed, the Court will mail you a Notice to Appear, if they have your current address. If the Court cannot locate a current address for you, an arrest warrant will be issued in your name.

The Department of Correction realizes the importance of support from the families and friends of inmates. Visitation is allowed at every one of the IDOC's eight prisons and four community work centers. If you are interested in visiting an incarcerated offender, you must complete a visitation application. Visitation applications may be obtained by the inmate in his or her housing unit and mailed to potential visitors.

Inmates cannot receive phone calls while in jail. However, most inmates are allowed to purchase phone time that can be used to make outgoing phone calls.

You must appear before the judge on your original court date to obtain a continuance. If you have an attorney, your attorney can file a motion requesting a continuance on your case.

Information contained in this system is presumed accurate at the time it is extracted from the NYC's jail management system. However, the New York City Department of Correction makes no warranties or guarantees, express or implied, as to the actual accuracy of the information supplied via the New York City Inmate Look-up Service.

Court records display the last known address for all parties on open cases. Parties whose addresses are listed on the court record should keep the court informed of their current address. Parties should provide their address information to the clerk of circuit court in the county where their case is filed. Addresses are updated on closed cases only if there is continuing court activity on that case.
