Motions

An application to the court for an order shall be by motion. A motion other than one made during a trial or hearing shall be in writing unless the court permits it to be made orally. It shall state the grounds upon which it is made and shall set forth the relief or order sought. It may be supported by affidavit. Compare. — Rule 47, Fed. Rules Cr. Proc. Minimal probation revocation notice gives adequate notice. — Where notice to defendant of revocation of probation, as con- tained in a prosecuting attorney’s motion, is minimal, but the defendant had been informed at his original sentencing in no uncertain terms that violations such as those enumerated in the motion would be grounds for revocation and the offenses are clearly described in the motion and it is clear from the motion that the offenses occurred in a certain county between defen- dant’s original sentencing and the date of the motion, the defendant has adequate notice of the charge against him, particularly in view of his failure to move for additional information or to request a continuance.
