FAQ
Generally, the answer is no (at least not for an extension of time). The only motions that need to be notarized are verified motions, such as summary judgment.
In legal terms, a change in a hearing date to a date in the future is called a “continuance” of the hearing. If the parties to a case are in agreement, it is more likely that the court will agree to change the hearing date.
Continuance is what a court may grant to delay proceedings until a later date. Parties in a suit or the judge themselves may wish to have a continuance granted in order to prepare for proceedings.
Request for continuance must explain the reason or reasons that the conference should be continued and must indicate that the requesting party has conferred with opposing counsel or self-represented party, if any, and indicate what the position is of such counsel or party with regard to the request.
In every case, to present an ex parte application to the court, a party must: reserve a hearing date with the applicable department (for applications that require a hearing.) ... file the motion with the court, and. give notice of the hearing date as required by law.
Rule 3.31. Unless otherwise authorized by the court, discovery meet and confer obligations require an in-person, telephonic, or video conference between parties.
Circumstances that may indicate good cause for a continuance include the unavailability of an essential witness (CRC 3.1332 (c)(1)); the unavailability of a party because of death, illness, or other excusable circumstances (CRC 3.1332 (c)(2)); or a significant, unanticipated change in the status of the case as a result ...
The length of the continuance depends on the situation and generally can be no longer than is “necessary.” A defendant might ask for several months to prepare for trial. But if a witness gets sick, a continuance of a few days might suffice.
Not every document that needs to be signed needs to be notarized — only certain types of paperwork require a notary's seal. While laws vary from state to state, they typically include real estate transactions, certain legal documents, many financial documents, and some forms related to healthcare.
Note that the document should be notarized like any other affidavit. If the court does not require an affidavit, then a memorandum can be written instead. It can take the same form, need not be notarized.
