Federal Court Practice in the District of Arizona

Randy Udelman of Scottsdale, AZ practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the District of Arizona (DAZ), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Phoenix, AZ and the surrounding territory comprising the DAZ.

The principal courthouse for the DAZ is located at 401 West Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Randy Udelman's federal crime practice in the DAZ typically involves matters governed by the district's federal crime caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

Appellate Path: Ninth Circuit

Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Arizona are reviewable on direct appeal by the Ninth Circuit, sitting in San Francisco, CA. Randy Udelman's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.

Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Ninth Circuit's local circuit rules. Federal Crime appeals from the DAZ are docketed at the Ninth Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.

What Federal Crime Practice Looks Like in Arizona

A federal crime matter in DAZ typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. Randy Udelman guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish DAZ practice from analogous state-court litigation in Arizona.
