FAQ
If you're a defendant without an attorney. You can only request a continuance for your first courtMoreIf you're a defendant without an attorney. You can only request a continuance for your first court date.
Lawyers and clients frequently want continuances to prepare their cases, but they don't always get them. If the prosecution or defense needs extra time to prepare for a hearing or trial in a criminal case, they can ask the judge for a continuance.
A continuance for dismissal (sometimes known as a “continuance without a plea” or an “agreement to suspend prosecution”) is perhaps the best resolution to a criminal case besides outright dismissal or an acquittal. A continuance for dismissal is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor.
The continuence might be longer this allows both parties adequate time to prepare their casesMoreThe continuence might be longer this allows both parties adequate time to prepare their cases properly.
A continuance is granted for good cause. More time to prepare could be good cause depending upon the circumstances. You (or your attorney) must argue how desperate you are for court orders, and/or that more preparation is not necessary based upon the circumstances.
Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) is common in cases where the evidence supports a guilty finding. This is when the defendant acknowledges guilt for pleading purposes, but the court does not enter a guilty finding.
Extraordinary motions for new trial, which are filed outside the 30-day period for filing ordinary motions for new trial, are not favored, as they seek to overturn existing judgments in both civil and criminal cases and undermine the finality of those judgments.
