Phil. Cnty. Pa. 558
In misdemeanor trials required discovery shall be made available to defense counsel upon defense counsel's written request for discovery made within 10 days of entry of appearance. Such cases shall be listed in a calendar room no earlier than 20 days after preliminary arraignment. These cases will be continued for status back into the calendar room until discovery is provided by the Commonwealth or waived by the defendant. The following constitutes required discovery:
If defense counsel fails to request required discovery, in writing, within 10 days after entry of appearance, trial shall not be delayed for failure to provide discovery. The Defender Association shall not be required to give written notice in all cases represented by it. Rule 1013 shall run against the Commonwealth until such time as discovery has been completed, provided that the defendant is otherwise ready for trial. No other discovery shall be permitted unless ordered by the trial judge. Reciprocal discovery by the defendant to the Commonwealth shall continue to be governed by Pennsylvania Rule of Criminal Procedure 573.
