CONTINUANCE
POLICY
It is recognized
that for a variety of reasons a scheduled hearing may need to be continued to a
later date. All continuance motions should be in writing. The motion should contain
the reason for the continuance request and also a statement that all legal counsel
and unrepresented parties in the matter have been contacted and what their position
is regarding the continuance request. If the party requesting the continuance can’t
make actual contact with other legal counsel or unrepresented parties, this information
should be included in the motion, along with a description of what effort has been
made to contact said person(s). A continuance motion that does not contain said
information will not be considered by the Court. Continuance motions filed within
72 hours of a scheduled hearing should include the Court’s expedited handling cover
sheet. Continuance of specially-set matters is not encouraged as a pre-trial conference
preceded the scheduling of the hearing and the parties indicated to the Court at
the pre-trial conference that the hearing date was appropriate. In specially-set
contested judicial matters, when a continuance is granted, the Court’s standard
practice is to have a second pre-trial conference at the time of the original hearing.
Continuance motions are pleadings. Thus, the motion should be signed by the party
requesting the continuance and the original should be filed with the Court. The
continuance motion should also include a certificate of service reflecting to whom
the motion has been served. As an accommodation to litigants, the Court will act
upon a continuance motion that is sent to the Court by facsimile provided that the
original motion is filed with the Court within 24 hours of the facsimile. When a
continuance motion is granted, it is the responsibility of the party requesting
the continuance to notify all of the parties of the new hearing date and time. Lawyers
are encouraged to make a special effort to notify their clients of a continuance
in advance.
