Q: after going to prelimanary hearing how many days before status confrence is held
A:
Traditionally 42 days. These days? Could be more or less than 42 days. If you are not in custody, your case may proceed slower than those who are in custody.
A status conference is not something you want to rush into. All it is is a conference to determine whether you will plea or go to trial. You are not entitled to a plea deal, and so whatever deal was presented for your preliminary examination may be the only deal you get, and that's what you'll get to determine at the status conference: whether you will accept that or go to trial.
