No crime. We file motions with orders attached, and later present them to the judge for signature . . . or not, as the case may be. The motions you describe sound like boilerplate motions, often filed without much thought. Nobody is tried in jail clothes, the State is obligated to provide disclosure of favorable (Brady) evidence, including agreements with witnesses, and for at least 15 years Harris County has, through its open-file policy, given the defense more discovery than the law, strictly speaking, entitles it to in the vast majority of criminal cases.

Mr. B.,

Q. In regards to Cert. of Service.

If an attorney files a Motion for (Not tried in jail issue clothes), Motion for (Discovery & Inspections), Motion for (Disclosure of Favorable Evidence), Motion for (Discovery of Agreement w/ witness), and the Cert of Service(s) are filled out and file date stamped but the ORDER form pages are not filled out & signed by presiding judge, what is the problem? crime? etc… Thanks.
