Revised 9/2024
Committee Comments:
September 19, 2024
The Committee amended the Rule to clarify that it applies to pretrial motions filed pursuant to Rule 12(b)(3)
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Former section (B) was vacated as duplicative of Rule 49(b)(4)
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Former section (C) was relocated to Criminal Local Rule
49.3(A)(5) to clarify that a signer’s certification is part of every document presented to the Court.
