Re-Docket Processes Effective December 15, 2021:

Pro Se defendants will be directed to the Case Managers to request a case be re-docketed between the hours of 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Any Pro Se defendant arriving after 3 p.m. may request a Re-Docket Form from the Clerk’s Office to complete and drop off to be processed by the Case Managers the following day, or in the alternative, may email their request to JEFFCOcasemanagers@kycourts.net. Any email request received by 3 p.m. will be processed the same day and a response sent. A Court Notice will be sent to the defendant at the address on file notifying the defendant of the new Court date.

The defendant will be required to provide the following information:

  • contact information including name, address, phone, and email (if available)
  • date of birth
  • last four digits of Social Security Number
  • basis for re-docket request

1) Bench Warrants
Pro se defendant re-dockets with an active Bench Warrant arriving during the hours of 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. will be reviewed by the designated Jefferson County Attorney for the division in which the Defendant’s last name falls alphabetically. Any defendant arriving after 3 p.m. should email their request to JEFFCOcasemanagers@kycourts.net. Any email request received by 3 p.m. will be processed the same day and a response sent. A Court Notice will be sent to the Defendant at the address on file notifying the defendant of the new Court date. However, the bench warrant will remain in place. Only those defendants who arrive at the hours between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. have the possibility of a bench warrant being rescinded on the same day.

A) Bench Warrant Set Aside: Agreement
Pro se defendants will be instructed to the appropriate court, notify the deputy of their presence and wait for the judge to call them to the podium for further instructions from the court. The Case Managers will assign the case a future date on the Court’s docket.

B) Bench Warrant Set Aside: Objection
Pro se defendants will be instructed to proceed to the appropriate court, notify the deputy of their presence and wait for the judge to call them to the podium for further instructions from the court. The Case Managers will assign the case a future date on the Court’s docket. Should the Jefferson County Attorney object to the bench warrant being set aside, they will note their objection on the form and proceed to court to make arguments regarding the set aside and for the Court to rule on the motion.

2) FTA-DOT
Pro Se re-dockets with a suspended license (an active DOT) may be made in person between 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. or via email to JEFFCOcasemanagers@kycourts.net. Emailed requests received by 3 p.m. Monday-Friday will be processed the same day. The suspension will be automatically recalled when the case is rescheduled by the Case Managers. For emailed requests, a Court Notice will be sent to the defendant with the new date to the address on file in addition to a response email.

These procedures are consistent with those outlined in the Temporary Local Rules and Protocol, a copy of which can be found on the Resources Page.
