RULE 22. TIME OF MOTION TO TRANSFER
[DELETED]
A motion to transfer under these rules may be made at or before entry of a plea or
at such
other time as the court or these rules may prescribe.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rule 22 is an adaptation of Rule 22 of the Federal Rules. It differs from the Federal
Rule
in that the word "arraignment" has been deleted and the words "entry of a plea" were
inserted in lieu thereof.
Under Rule 22, a motion to transfer the case or change the venue, as provided in
Rules 20
and 21, may be made "at or before entry of a plea or at such time as the court or these rules
may prescribe"." In view of the nature of the relief granted by Rule 22, it is not
unreasonable
to require that the motion be made as soon as possible after the indictment or information
is filed. Failure to make a timely motion constitutes a waiver of objection to venue. [See
