Any number of reasons. Among them; A judge may know the principals in the case or may have some type of legitimate business, professional, or neighborly dealings with the parties involved. If they believe that they either might be biased, or wish to avoid the appearance or suspicion of favoritism of one side over the other, they should probably 'recuse' themselves.
If the Judge believes that he can fairly adjudicate the case, then he certainly may, but most would probably not simply to avoid any appearance of prejudice.
It may cause a temporary suspension of your concealed carry license pending the outcome of the charges.
No as you are accused of felony in the state of Oklahoma , you will have to get a written permission to leave the state by the judge.
When a case comes to High Court/Supreme Court the case will be first listed and tracked with "Pending" Status,when argument for the case happens and Honorable Judge listens the arguments and feel that he can take a decision on the case then the Judgment Will be reserved and the case will be disposed. The case disposed doesn't mean that it is in favour of the appealed or not it only means that the case has been heard and a judgment has been made.
she has to go to physical therapy and then get a disability rating and if she didn't do that then she probably can't win any settlement so see what happens with the insurance settlement and tell the judge that the case is pending
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy a pending status means the case is still open for evaluation and no decision has been made. The pending status may last for awhile depending on how involved the case is until it is final.
Once a case is filed in court it may remain pending for as long as the case is being actively prosecuted by the parties without regard to any statute of limitations. Statutes of limitation require only that lawsuits be FILED within a certain period of time after the occurrence of the incident that gave rise to the cause of action. Once the case is filed, however, it may remain pending until properly disposed of. If a case is particularly complex and if the particular court system is crowded with other cases, a lawsuit maybe pending in court years after the termination of the limitations period.
Only the judge would be able to answer this question. BTW: a "status hearing" has nothing to do with the charges at all, it is only a description of the court procedure involved to review and/or update info on a pending case.
Pending is a synonym for impending, which means about to happen; imminent. Because the word has other senses, it is better to use impending when you mean about to happen. In another sense it means not yet settled. For example, while a judge considers the facts of your lawsuit and before he renders his decision, your case is pending. In another sense, it is a preposition that means until. For example, you may be legally prevented from doing something pending a court's ruling.
It is unethical and illegal for a judge to kill a case. Judges are expected to preside over cases impartially and fairly, and any attempt to manipulate the outcome of a case is a violation of judicial ethics and can lead to severe consequences, including removal from the bench. If there are concerns about a judge's behavior in a case, it should be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
Individual judges use the "status hearing" or "status conference" in different ways, but generally it is for the lawyers to inform the judge as to what motions remain pending, whether settlement is likely, and whether a trial should be scheduled.
In most cases, information about pending DCF (Department of Children and Families) cases is confidential to protect the privacy of the individuals involved. Typically, this information is not readily accessible to the public. If you are directly involved in the case, you may contact DCF directly to inquire about its status.
People will have different opinions about this, but ultimately the voters will decide. In my opinion, if a politician has a pending court case, it would be better to have the case settled, and depending on the outcome and what the case was, run at a later date.
