Rule 40 Vacant

This rule number doesn't have any content tied to it. It's been marked as vacant, which means it's reserved but currently empty. In many court rule systems, this happens when a rule is removed, replaced, or set aside for possible future use.

If you're looking for specific guidance on this topic, you'll need to check other numbered rules in the Northern Mariana Islands Rules of Criminal Procedure. The court may have moved the relevant content to a different rule number, or this space may simply be held open for later additions to the rules.
