Verified rules for this judge's division
Every Plea in Writing on the Division Forms — Full Disposition Documented — Division CR-B
Judge Kite requires all pleas and speedy-trial waivers in writing on the jud4.org felony forms, with every condition and expectation documented on the form and record; deferred sentence dates or furloughs need advance Court approval.
Gun Violence Offender Court: 2 P.M. Calendar Cutoff — Violators Get an Education Meeting — Division CR-B
Judge Kite (CR-B is the designated Gun Violence Offender Court, AO 2024-13): all calendar add/remove requests by 2:00 p.m.; within-24-hour requests must be labeled "Emergency Request" — and parties who repeatedly disregard the procedure may be ordered to an education meeting with the Court and agencies.
Sex-Case Pleas: Designation Disclosed, Marsy's Law Presumed Waived on Normal Calendar — Division CR-B
Judge Kite's sex-case plea protocol: the State must state whether the plea makes the defendant a Sexual Offender or Predator; sensitive pleas get specially set — if called on the normal calendar, the Court ASSUMES the victim was informed and waived Marsy's Law/rape-shield protections; non-statutory probation conditions must be initialed by the defendant.
