Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Yes, there are time limits, depending on the type of motion (civil action? criminal action?). However, you should also know that judges are given a good bit of latitude in ruling on a motion. Some judges purposely hold off on ruling on a motion in order to force the parties to negotiate a settlement or for some other reason. Speak with your attorney if you have any addition questions as he/she is in the best position to know what's going on in your case.

Not set time limits. Practical considerations may require a ruling in order for a case to proceed, but the court's discretion and workload often influence how long a ruling takes.
