FUNDS FOR JUDICIAL SUPPORT PROJECTS
Current number of cases for drug and drug-related statute violations:
Approximately 450 cases (We would have to request a special report from
Computer Services for an exact number.)
Percent of caseload comprised of drug and drug-related statute
violations: Approximately 15% of felony caseload.
Please describe the conditions leading to the current backlog that are due
to drug and drug-related statute violations (i.e. steady increase in
enforcement, efforts of a grand jury investigation, unusual drug activity):
Grand jury since 1989, charged with investigating major narcotics
cases; major drug distribution networks conducting large scale operations:
resignation of one judge has left a vacancy since May 12.
Please describe the potential and actual impact on delay of drug and
drug-related statute violation cases in your court: Volume of delayed
trials on our Speedy Trial Report increases monthly; civil cases are
continually pushed to the background.
Please discuss what efforts been made to consider other alternative
strategies or the use of sitting judges in the county area who may be
available to address the backlog of drug and drug-related cases:
We sought cooperation for a pilot project implementing Supreme Court
Administrative Order 1991-5, but the district courts could offer little
assistance; also we use video arraignments to speed the criminal process.
Describe the support teams that you would plan to use and how these
teams would be used if funds were granted:
The team will consist of the visiting judge, the court reporter, and
a court clerk. The secretary of the judge originally assigned to the case
will provide secretarial services. The Assignment Office, working with
the assigned judge, will identify appropriate cases and handle
scheduling.
Please provide a detailed budget for the amount of funds that you are
requesting:
- $350 per day x 30 days = $10,500
Court Reporter: $110 per day x 30 days = $3,300
Court Clerk I: $69 per day x 30 days = $2,070
Clerk, Assignment Office: $69 per day x 30 days
= $2,070
