Nope, but if you were an attorney, you would be expected to file "pre-trial" motions with the court and serve a copy on the prosecutor. Ex parte mean, basically, that you go before a judge without the other side being present to argue their side of the case. It's not applicable to your situation.
I wouldn't worry about it. Just make your motion when they call your case.Can I bring a copy with me for the State? Is there a proper format?
Your "legal authority" is IRLJ 2.2. Your motion should be something like, "Your Honor, I move to dismiss this case, because the citation was not filed within the five day time period required by IRLJ 2.2". If the filing date is not clearly marked on the citation, you will have to obtain evidence of the filing date from the Clerk. Take that with you, and you should be good to go.What does "corresponding legal authority mean"?
"Good cause shown" means there must have been a compelling reason why the ticket was not filed in time. "The officer was busy" or "on vacation" are NOT good excuses.
Sounds like a slam-dunk to me, unless the prosecutor can come up with a really good reason for the delay in filing. Plus, you'll get to reserve your deferral for another time.
Let me know how it turns out.
Good luck,
Barry
