FIXED SUMS PAYABLE IN LIEU OF APPEARANCE
This Court has provided by General Order for the payment of a fixed sum in
suitable misdemeanor actions in lieu of appearance. Acceptance and payment of such
fixed sum shall terminate the action; however, a Magistrate Judge may fix a higher
amount in the event that payment of the fixed sum is not timely made or otherwise under
conditions set forth by General Order so long as the fixed sum does not exceed the
maximum authorized fine.
Copies of General Orders referenced in this Rule are available on request from the
Clerk and on the Court's website.
