In a Nutshell: A judge may deny a Motion to Continue filed by the prosecution, even if it foreseeably means a motion to suppress may be granted, resulting in dismissal of the case.
(1) Generally. A party seeking reconsideration of a court order or ruling may file a motion for reconsideration. (2) Procedure. All such motions, however denominated, must be submitted without oral argument and without the filing of a responsive or reply memorandum, unless the court orders otherwise.
There is no set number because there are any number of reasons a continuance could be asked for.
If you have a court date and you are not able to attend, or if you must provide documents to the court and cannot meet the deadline, you must file a Motion to Continue and a Notice of Hearing. Your request for a continuance and hearing must be filed as far in advance as possible.
(d)Proposed Orders; Proposed Judgments. (1)Required Format. A proposed order or proposed judgment must be prepared and submitted as a separate document and may not be included as an integral part of a motion, stipulation, or other document.
If you file a motion to strike, it must be in a stand-alone pleading that cannot exceed two pages. A response is due within five days, and the response also cannot exceed two-pages. Do not file a reply unless one is ordered. A motion to strike does not extend the deadline to file a responsive pleading.
Every matter submitted for determination to a judge of the superior court for decision shall be determined and a ruling made not later than sixty days from submission thereof, in ance with Section 21. Article VI of the Arizona Constitution.
Motions to continue are not automatically granted. There must be a showing of good cause for the continuance to be granted. Do not assume your motion to continue was granted just because you filed a motion.
