FAQ
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.
You'll need to file a request with the court. This is usually done in the form of a written motion, which is a formal request to the court to make a particular decision. Your motion should explain why you need more time and how long of a delay you are requesting.
Notice of Motion. Please do not file a “notice of filing” in federal court, as they are unnecessary and serve only to clutter the docket. A notice of motion is a notice that sets a date and time for a hearing with the Court for a motion.
(a) Notice of motion. A notice of motion shall specify the time and place of the hearing on the motion, the supporting papers upon which the motion is based, the relief demanded and the grounds therefor. Relief in the alternative or of several different types may be demanded.
This is sometimes called the “return date,” or the date the motion is “returnable.” The party making the motion (moving party) chooses the date the motion will be heard by the court. When you choose the date, you must pick a date that gives the other side at least 8 days of notice.
A notice of motion and supporting affidavits shall be served at least eight days before the time at which the motion is noticed to be heard. Answering affidavits shall be served at least two days before such time.
Judges generally do not grant continuances freely unless proceeding to trial would violate the defendant's rights. They have discretion to deny a continuance unless the law in their state requires a continuance to be granted in a certain situation.
Motions made by notice of motion and petitions and notices of petition in special proceedings are processed by the General Clerk's Office (Room 119) and are to be made returnable in the Motion Submission Part Courtroom (Room 130) on any business day of the week at AM.
This Stipulation to Adjourn a Motion (NY) is a standard form that attorneys can use to adjourn a motion filed in a civil action in New York Supreme Court. The stipulation notifies the court clerk of the new motion return date and adjusted responsive filing deadlines.
