Judge Boyd opens docket, warns attendees of warrants and limits international travel for defendants on pretrial conditions
Summary
Presiding Judge Stephanie Boyd opened the day’s docket, set a noon recess, warned defendants that a warrant may issue if they do not respond when called, and told several defendants that work travel is allowable only with documentation and limits on international travel.
Presiding Judge Stephanie Boyd opened the court’s docket and told those present that someone will go to trial if they have not reached an agreement, and that the court would recess at 12:00 p.m. She warned, “When I call your name, I need you to stand and let me know you’re here. Otherwise, I’m gonna assume you’re not here. A warrant may be issued for your arrest.”
The judge gave procedural reminders to counsel and defendants: confer with the state and probation before approaching the bench, obtain interpreters when a defendant speaks in a language other than English, and sign reset forms before leaving. In a colloquy about work travel, Judge Boyd said she would allow a defendant to continue employment but ordered the defendant to provide proof of employment and a work schedule to pretrial services and limited international travel without prior court approval.
