Judge Bates is known for being a little strict. No Pre Trials for the most part in his courtroom. Either take the plea or go to trial. In most cases.
Also, if you are to appear before him, you better be on time. They take roll immediately and if you are not there-even one minute late-you get nabbed with failure to appear.
This is what my lawyer friend told me. Not from experience!
