By: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE--John E. Olsen, Chairperson
In Re: CIRCUIT COURT--SUPPORT OF PROPOSED COURT RULE (MGR 6.104 --DAILY
ARRAIGNMENTS) WITH AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court in its ongoing effort to effect
improvements in the state court system will, on occasion, propose changes
in the Michigan Court Rules (MCR) and submit such proposals to the courts
of the state for their evaluation and input; and
WHEREAS recently the high court submitted proposed MGR 6.104 requiring
more explicit procedures relating to daily arraignments including weekends
and holidays and asked that the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court (Oakland County)
and other state courts respond with their recommendations; and
WHEREAS the Judges of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court have reviewed
proposed MCR 6.104 which states that a person arrested pursuant to a warrant
be taken to the court specified in the warrant for arraignment and that
a person arrested without a warrant be taken to a court in the judicial
district in which the offense allegedly occurred; and
WHEREAS the Judges of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court have recommended
that proposed MCR 6.104 be revised so that arraignments held on weekends
and holidays may be held in one centralized location and be conducted by
one judicial officer rather than requiring that a district judge or magistrate
be available in each judicial district of the county; and
WHEREAS this recommendation has been submitted to the Suprethe Court
in a letter from Richard D. Kuhn, Chief Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit
Court; and
WHEREAS the General Government Committee has proposed that district
courts in Oakland County should have the option of conducting arraignments
in their own judicial district on weekends and holidays rather than at the
centralized location.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners concurs with the recommendations of the Circuit Court Judges
and the General Government Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all of the Oakland County District Courts.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
