If a surety examination has been ordered for an inmate, when must the surety appear in court for the hearing?

The correct answer is based on understanding the typical schedule of court proceedings and the timeline for a surety examination for an inmate. A surety examination is a legal process where a surety (the party who has guaranteed the inmate's bond) is called to appear in court to determine whether they can fulfill their obligations regarding the bond.

Assuming that the surety examination is being conducted immediately following the order and this timeframe typically accommodates a reasonable duration for notice and preparation, the first business day available for the surety to appear after a holiday is significant. Given that July 4 falls on a Tuesday and is recognized as Independence Day, it is a public holiday during which courts are generally closed. Therefore, the first day the court would actually be in session following July 4 is July 5, which aligns with the court's operational schedule and ensures that all parties involved have the opportunity to comply with court procedures.

This makes July 5 the appropriate date for the surety's appearance in court, taking into consideration that court schedules adhere to business days and recognize holidays.
