According to a court calendar,
Heuermann is scheduled to appear before Judge Timothy Mazzei for an 8 a.m. status conference in Suffolk County Court in Riverhead, N.Y.
But the hearing likely won't take place until 2 p.m., court officials told The Messenger.
Defense attorney Michael J. Brown may ask that Heuermann, who's being held without bail, be allowed to skip the hearing, a court source said.
But that request isn't likely to be granted, the source added.
Brown could also seek to have bail set for Heuermann but officials haven't gotten any indication that will happen, the source said.
He's charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello; Judge Timothy Mazzei may set a trial date
