The presiding judge managed a crowded morning docket in the 252nd District Court, issuing multiple resets, entering at least one dismissal for failure of a complaining witness to appear, and confirming several jury trials and trial-preparation resets for next week.

The court signed a dismissal in an aggravated-assault case after the state said it had sent subpoenas and the complaining witness failed to appear or contact the prosecutor’s office; the judge advised the defendant to avoid further contact with the former complainant. Several other defendants were given 30‑day resets to pursue counsel and review discovery, and the court set jury selection or trial dockets for several matters scheduled to begin next Monday.

The judge instructed counsel to email discovery certifications and other attachments to the clerk where needed and noted the court’s limited available trial dates next week. These actions were administrative docket management and do not constitute judgments on the merits of the underlying charges.
