This notice ensures the court is aware of his schedule conflicts and prevents any hearings from being scheduled during his absence in Rodarius Marcell Green’s case.

What this means: Drew Findling filed another notice of leave from law practice for March 25-27, 2026, to speak at the Annual Criminal Justice Act and Federal Defender Continued Learning Event in Salt Lake City, Utah. This supplements his previous leave notice and ensures no court proceedings are scheduled during this period in Rodarius Marcell Green’s case.

WAIVER OF ARRAIGNMENT FILED
What this means: Rodarius Marcell Green signed a formal waiver of his arraignment hearing and entered a plea of not guilty to all charges in his case. By waiving arraignment, Green avoided having to appear in court for the formal reading of charges and was able to enter his plea through this written document instead. This is a common procedure that speeds up the court process while preserving the defendant’s right to contest the charges.
6/1/26
CASE MANAGEMENT HEARING SCHEDULED
What this means: Rodarius Marcell Green has a case management hearing scheduled for 9:30 AM on June 1, 2026. During this hearing, the judge and attorneys will discuss the status of discovery, scheduling for future proceedings, and address any outstanding pretrial motions. This administrative hearing helps keep the case moving toward resolution.
6/16/26
FINAL PLEA HEARING SCHEDULED
What this means: Rodarius Marcell Green has a final plea hearing scheduled for 10:00 AM on June 16, 2026. This hearing will likely determine whether Green will accept a plea agreement with prosecutors or proceed to trial on the charges against him. The term “final plea” suggests this may be the last opportunity for a negotiated resolution before trial preparation begins.

NON-COMPLEX SCHEDULING ORDER ISSUED
What this means: A Fulton County Superior Court judge signed a scheduling order on April 6, 2026, setting key deadlines for Rodarius Marcell Green’s case under case number 25SC007008. The order establishes the following timeline: discovery must be completed by April 20, 2026; a case management, jail plea, and arraignment hearing is set for June 1, 2026 at 9:30 AM; a motions and status hearing is set for May 4, 2026; and the final plea and trial calendar is set for June 16, 2026 at 10:00 AM. The order also notes that the state must provide Green with a “best offer” in writing on or before the final plea date, and that there shall be no re-indictments or re-accusations after the final plea and trial calendar call date. ADA R. Bray is listed as the prosecutor and Drew Findling as defense attorney.
5/6/26
NOTICE OF DISCOVERY DEFICIENCY FILED
What this means: Defense attorneys Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg filed a formal notice alerting Fulton County Superior Court that the prosecution has failed to turn over discovery materials in Rodarius Marcell Green’s case. Discovery refers to the evidence and information the state is required to share with the defense before trial. As of May 6, 2026 — the date this notice was filed — the defense states that Green has not received any discovery at all, including police reports, body camera video, dash camera video, and GCIC records (Georgia’s criminal history database). The filing notes that discovery was due April 20, 2026, per the court’s scheduling order, meaning the state was already late at the time this notice was submitted.
6/16/26
FINAL PLEA HEARING
What this means: Rodarius Marcell Green is scheduled to appear for his final plea hearing at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 1C of Fulton County Superior Court. At this hearing, Green will have the opportunity to accept or reject a plea agreement offered by the prosecution. The state’s “best offer,” which is required to be presented in writing by this date per the court’s scheduling order, will outline the specific charges Green can plead guilty or nolo contendere to and the recommended sentence. Green can choose to plead guilty to some or all charges, enter a nolo contendere plea (no contest), or reject the offer and proceed to trial. The outcome of this hearing — whether Green accepts a plea deal, rejects it, or the case is otherwise resolved — will determine the next steps in his case.
