Kessler and her legal team were in a Nassau County courtroom Thursday in order to schedule a trial date.
Kessler's defense team questioned her competency to stand trial, so no date was set.
A judge has given the defense team two weeks to argue against the release of more discovery materials.
Kessler and her legal team are expected back in court on March 21, at 1:30 p.m
Earlier this week, a judge agreed to allow prosecutors to use newly disclosed discovery materials in the trial against Kimberly Kessler for the murder of Nassau County mother-of-three Joleen Cummings.
The discovery materials include a combination of hours of videos, photos of potential evidence, witness interviews and hundreds of pages of documents.
Earlier this month, new documents were released including search warrants, lab reports, and interviews with people who met Kessler before her arrest and those she encountered once she was incarcerated.
Kessler is charged with murder in the death of Joleen Cummings. Cummings disappeared in May. Her body has not been found.
Friends describe her as dangerous, others describe her as physically violent to them and their family.
In recorded interviews with detectives, some childhood friends describe a young Kessler as dangerous, saying, "I tried to stay off Kim’s radar because quite honestly she was a scary individual. She did this major change of personality."
In another recording, an ex-boyfriend describes alleged physical attacks by Kessler.
"She bit your dad?" asked the detective. "Yes," he answered. "And she stabbed you in the chest?" "Yeah."
An ex-husband says he also had a close call, but he fought back.

Other evidence shows Kessler’s internet browsing history for three weeks leading up to Joleen Cummings disappearance. Searches on Kessler's cell phone range from information about female murderers to post-mortem bodies, psychosis and web pages on mind controlling drugs.
On May 11, the day before Cummings was reported missing, Kessler didn't use the internet at all.
On May 16, the day before Kessler was arrested, she spent eight hours searching Joleen Cummings name online.
Photographic evidence shows Kessler’s wallet with a splattered red substance that appears to be dried blood.
Surveillance video shows Kessler at a Flash Foods gas station on May 12, the day after Cummings was reported missing. She appears to have injuries to her face that mirror the injuries that are photographed six days later when she would be arrested.
