o Determine if the juvenile has a pending charge or charges in district court. If
pending charge(s) exist, open the status offense case in district court. Assign the
status offense case to the district court division presiding over the pending public

presiding over a public offense case, transfer the case and consolidate the status
offense case with the public offense case for the purpose of hearing. JCRPP 2.
NOTE: Transfer the case by reassigning to the appropriate judge. You do not need
