Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) is common in cases where the evidence supports a guilty finding.

How Many Continuances Are Allowed? Typically, there's no limit on the number of continuances that a defendant can request. That said, a judge won't look favorably on repeated requests, especially if they appear to be delay tactics. Repeated requests, made without good cause, will be denied.
Common examples of reasons to request continuance include: Service of process not made upon a defendant. In civil cases, all defendants must be adequately served with legal documents. If the service of process fails, the court may grant a continuance to allow the defendant time to prepare a defense.
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. But they need to have a good reason, otherwise, the judge can deny the request.
A party in a legal dispute typically requests a continuance in writing: they or their attorney must file a motion with the court.
