Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 5
If a petition is dismissed without prejudice and if the Office of the Attorney General elects to reinstitute the charges against the same respondent arising out of the same fact situation as the charge which was dismissed, the Office of the Attorney General shall file a petition with the Family Court pursuant to D.C. Code § 16-2306. The Family Court shall set a time for initial appearance and direct the issuance of summonses pursuant to SCR-Juvenile 9. The Office of the Attorney General shall notify in writing the respondent's former counsel of its intent to reinstitute the charges and of the date of the initial appearance, and the respondent's former counsel shall be reappointed to represent the respondent unless otherwise ordered by the judicial officer.
