    Default Washington speeding ticket with no notice of court date

    I got a ticket, and also contested the fine. After a couple of months i got worried because i did not receive a court date. So I called the courts, the set me a date for January 5 2007. That will be 121 days after wa.gov/courts says my violation was posted. Plus I still havn't recieved a notice! I just found out that you need to send a document 10 days prior to your court date for a speedy trial. But I never recieved a notice in the mail to take action. 8 days and counting what should i do. Thanks Mike

    Default Re: Washington speeding ticket with no notice of court date

    According to IRLJ 2.6:
    Quote Quoting IRLJ 2.6(d)
    Objection to Hearing Date. A defendant who objects to the hearing date set by the court upon the ground that it is not within the time limits prescribed by this rule shall file with the court and serve upon the prosecuting authority a written motion for a speedy hearing date within 10 days after the notice of hearing is mailed or otherwise given to the defendant. Failure of a party, for any reason, to make such a motion shall be a waiver of the objection that a hearing commenced on such a date is not within the time limits prescribed by this rule. The written notice of the hearing date shall contain a copy of IRLJ 2.6(d).
    I would contact the court again and ask if they mailed the notice, and, if so, to what address. Tell them you have not received this notice and ask them to send it again. Once you do receive it, immediately file a "motion for speedy trial" -- it doesn't have to be formal, just make sure to file a copy with the court and serve a copy on the prosecutor. If a new trial date is not set, move for dismissal under IRLJ 2.6(f).

    Good luck,
    Barry
