Praecipe for Determination - All.pdf
The Praecipe for Determination filed 7/11/24 is not for Judge Gull to determine. It's filed on RA's docket so that it becomes part of this case's record. The issue is described in the Praecipe, and the determination request is directed to the administrative official(s) - the parties responsible for appointing IN Special Judges. There's clear procedural rules on the issue of a Judge who ignores or fails to respond to motions. Colloquially, that rule is known as Indiana's lazy judge rule.
IMO, here the D attempts to resolve some long-outstanding (long-ignored) motions this one via a higher authority. IIRC, Judge Gull told RA (via his temporary counsel) that there'd be a hearing on the Franks. It never happened.
It's the D's job to ensure RA's right to be heard. This is part of that effort.

Cara Wieneke, RA's attorney who brought his 2 cases/writs to the SCOIN (1st writ - to force the Court to keep a proper docket, and 2nd writ - to force the Court to re-instate his choice of counsel) explains here:
