Ain't no such critter as dispository.

Who is we?

Who is offering the option?

What caused all this?

Civil or criminal?

do you mean depository? Does this have something to do with the education system?? (or banks LOL)

My mistake, I think it is called a dispositive hearing. This is in a criminal case where the State has not been able to produce the affidavit for the search and seizure, our attorney has filed a motion to suppress, the ADA and our attorney discussed a dispositive hearing in lieu of a trial. Is dispositive the right word?

Sounds like a motion to dismiss.

You'd have to ask your attorney for details.

I can't tell what you are talking about.

THey said this hearing was to "dispose" of the case one way or the other. Is this not common? Supposedly if the State produces an affidavit, we take the plea offer. If they don't then I am assuming the case will be dismissed.

If the case is dismissed, will the State then have to return our seized property such as computers and other equipment? (There were no illegal drugs or anything like that involved)

I'm not sure why you don't want to talk to your lawyer, but this sounds like a motion to suppress. If the government cannot prove that it had the right to search, then the seized stuff won't be allowed in as evidence. Thus, no case.

If the stuff is not contraband, then you get it back.

There's a suppository hearing also.

True story:

We had a joker in the clink one time who was sick and was prescribed suppositories.

After a few days, he told the jailer he was not feeling well and, besides, that medicine tasted awful.

The jailer said, "You're not supposed to eat that stuff!"

The joker (criminal) said, "What are you supposed to do with it!"

The jailer told him bluntly; the joker did not believe him.

From then on, we had "suppository hearings" for stupid criminals.

Did I ever tell you about the prisoner the jailer baptized in the horse trough outside?

The prisoner escaped the next day.

I issued a court order allowing only baptism by sprinkling under the spigot in the bathroom.
