Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

pre-preliminary hearing

I have a pre-preliminary hearing scheduled about a month and a half away on a felony posession charge. What is the purpose of a pre-prelim? Should I wait for the pre-prelim to notify the public defender that I want to file a motion to supress the evidence?

If you were expecting to get Perry Mason-quality representation for free, you have been watching too much TV.
