Judge Stan Strickland will address three motions filed by Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez.
The motions will ask that the Orange County Sheriff's Office turn over photographs, video recordings and drawings taken at the crime scene where a child's remains were found on Thursday. The location is very near the Anthony home.
A second motion asks that the defense be allowed to conduct a second autopsy on the remains, and the final motion seeks to preserve forensic evidence and appoint a forensic expert for the court.
There will be a livestream of the hearing at 2 p.m. EST/ 1 p.m. CST
I will post a link to the stream momentarily
Meanwhile, investigators continued to work to identify the remains of the child found last week.
For the first time, Caylee's grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, said they believe the toddler has died.
The crime scene was quiet early Tuesday morning, but investigators were expected to return for a sixth day to search for clues that could lead them to a killer.
The FBI has taken DNA samples and fingerprints from George, Cindy and Lee Anthony. Family attorney Brad Conway said that's to exclude them from investigation.
Conway said both George and Cindy continue to support their daughter.
"Everybody wants to make sure that there are no mistakes made. Everybody wants to make sure that the person responsible for this crime is held responsible for it, and if that happens to be Casey (Anthony), a jury of her peers will have to make that decision," Conway said.
A memorial to Caylee continued to grow on Tuesday. What started as a single cross with flowers attached to it now includes flowers, Teddy bears, balloons and other stuffed animals.

Remains' Measurements and Hair Color Match Those of Caylee Anthony
At an emergency hearing today, Judge Strickland denied Baez and Company their own experts at the autopsy of the found remains, saying until there is a positive ID on the remains, the Sheriff and Medical Examiner have complete jurisdiction. Prosecutors said they would try to work out a compromise where the defense could have access after the autopsy to the evidence and forensic remains.
The anthropological measurements on the remains and the hair color are the same match as those of Caylee.
Orange County deputies have removed bags of evidence from Anthony's home. The Medical Examiner says that some clues that came from the evidence were linked to the house.
Last night, deputies spent hours inside the home, processing the scene and retrieved numerous bags of evidence, along with pesticide tanks and several vacuum cleaners.
Further updates pending....
