CIVIL DISCOVERY DISPUTE PROCESS Unless Judge Stinnett orders otherwise in a particular case, these instructions apply to all cases in which all parties are represented by counsel. STEP 1: Generally, discovery disputes are resolved as directed by the scheduling order propounded by the district court judge. If the parties have a dispute regarding some actions or inaction taken by another party as part of the discovery process, the Court initially expects the parties to comply with LR 37.1. The rule requires that counsel “make a good faith effort to resolve extrajudicially any dispute related to discovery.” Only upon compliance with this rule and notification to the Court of such compliance will the Court move ahead with resolving the dispute. STEP 2: If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the parties may contact chambers at [email protected] with the following information: (1) a 2-3 sentence summary of the dispute; (2) indication that the parties have complied with LR 37.1; (3) the urgency of the dispute; (4) the parties necessary to resolve the dispute; (5) the approximate length of time the discovery dispute teleconference will require; and (6) dates for which all necessary counsel are available to discuss the dispute via teleconference. All counsel in the litigation must be copied on this correspondence. STEP 3: Judge Stinnett will enter an Order scheduling a conference call to discuss the dispute. Prior to the call and as directed in the Order, the parties must submit the Civil Discovery Dispute Worksheet. Counsel shall copy all relevant counsel to the dispute. Counsel may submit any relevant (but strictly targeted) portions of filings and other papers concerning the dispute as attachments to the Worksheet. Failure to complete the Worksheet and/or comply with its requirements may result in the Court ruling against your position in the dispute. STEP 4: Following the hearing, Judge Stinnett will quickly issue a succinct, provisional ruling that resolves the pending dispute, subject to any later order. Either party will then have leave to file a formal motion with full briefing to seek relief as to the dispute keeping in mind Local Rule 37.1. Judge Stinnett, upon completion of briefing, will issue an opinion that will be appealable to the sitting district court judge.

Unless the person waives representation by counsel, the United States magistrate judge or the court, if satisfied after appropriate inquiry that the person is financially unable to obtain counsel, shall appoint counsel to represent the individual. Determination of eligibility for representation under the CJA is a judicial function, however the court may designate court employees to obtain or verify the facts relevant to the financial eligibility determination. Employees of law enforcement agencies, including the United States Attorney’s Office, should not participate in the completion of the financial affidavit or seek to obtain information concerning financial eligibility from a person requesting the appointment of counsel. When practicable, employees of the federal public defender office should discuss with the person who indicates that he or she is not financially able to secure representation the right to appointed counsel and, if appointment of counsel seems likely, assist in completion of the financial affidavit. Counsel must be appointed if the person seeking representation is “financially unable to obtain counsel.” 18 U.S.C. §3006A(b). (While courts often use “indigency” as a shorthand expression to describe financial eligibility, indigency is not the standard for appointing counsel under the Criminal Justice Act.) In determining whether a person is “financially unable to obtain counsel,” consideration should be given to the cost of providing the person and his or her dependents with the necessities of life, the cost of securing pretrial release, asset encumbrance, and the likely cost of retained counsel. The initial determination of eligibility must be made without regard to the financial ability of the person’s family to retain counsel, unless their family indicates willingness and ability to do so promptly. Any doubts about a person’s eligibility should be resolved in the person’s favor; erroneous determinations of eligibility may be corrected at a later time. For additional guidance, see the Guide to Judiciary Policy, Volume 7A, Guidelines for Administering the CJA and Related Statutes (CJA Guidelines). The CJA Form 23 is not a required statutory form. It is an administrative tool used to assist the court in appointing counsel. When a colorable claim is asserted that disclosure to the government of a completed CJA 23 would be self-incriminating, the court may not adopt an unconditional requirement that the defendant complete the CJA 23 before his application for appointment of counsel will be considered. To do so may place the defendant in the constitutionally untenable position of having to choose between his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Two approaches that courts have taken to resolve these competing concerns are: (i) through in camera examination of the financial affidavit, which then would be sealed and not be made available for the purpose of prosecution, or (ii) through an adversarial hearing on the defendant's request for appointment of counsel, during which the court would grant use immunity to the defendant’s testimony at the hearing. Pursuant to Judicial Conference policy, financial affidavits seeking the appointment of counsel should not be included in the public case file and should not be made available to the public at the courthouse or via remote electronic access. If the financial affidavit is docketed it should be filed under seal. See, Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 10, §340, Judicial Conference Policy on Privacy and Public Access to Electronic Case Files (March 2008) and Administrative Office of U.S. Courts Information Bulletin on Revised Judicial Conference Privacy Policy (May 2008).

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY CENTRAL DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. ____________________________, Defendant. Case No. ____________ WAIVER OF DETENTION HEARING I understand that I have been charged with one or more offense(s) in a criminal complaint or indictment, and that the United States has moved for my detention pending trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). A magistrate judge has informed me that I have the right to a prompt hearing to determine whether any condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure my appearance at future hearings and the safety of any other person and the community. I understand that at the hearing I would have the right to: • • • • hear and review all evidence presented by the United States in support of its motion to detain me pending the trial in the case; be represented by counsel who could challenge any evidence presented by the United States, including objecting to any evidence and cross-examining any witnesses; present all evidence in support of my release; and all other procedural rights afforded by the Bail Reform Act. Upon consultation with my attorney, I further understand that: 1 • • • • the burden is on the United States to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that I pose a risk of nonappearance, or by clear and convincing evidence that I pose a risk of safety to another person or the community, and that no condition or combination of conditions will mitigate these risks; there may be a rebuttable presumption in favor of my detention, which I would only overcome if I can present credible evidence to rebut the presumption; if I waive my right to the detention hearing I will be detained pending trial in this matter; and I will be prohibited from requesting a detention hearing in the future unless the Court finds there is new and material information that is presently unknown to me. By signing below, I affirm that I am executing this waiver knowingly and voluntarily, not under any threat, duress, or coercion, and no one has made me any promises in exchange for this waiver. I am signing below after sufficient consultation with my attorney, who has explained this document, whether a presumption of detention applies to my case, and the effect of waiving my right to a detention hearing. By executing this waiver, I understand that I will be held in a detention facility pending my trial and do not seek to challenge the motion for detention and its basis asserted by the United States. I acknowledge that I am the defendant in this case, that I agree to waive my right to a detention hearing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142, and that I am aware of the impact of this waiver.
