I am requesting a continuance until after (provide a date when your scheduling issue will be resolved) when this scheduling conflict will be resolved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The rules and procedures regarding requesting a continuance can vary depending on state and local rules.
There is no magic number of times you can ask. It depends on the judge and the reason for the request. You can't keep going to court asking for a continuance for the same reason over and over again.
If the parties to a case are in agreement, it is more likely that the court will agree to change the hearing date. Even if the other party does not agree, you may still contact the court to request a continuance of the hearing date.
The request MUST BE SUPPORTED by a declaration signed under penalty of perjury that clearly explains the reasons for requesting a continuance and why the the timeline for a continuance is appropriate under the circumstances. The Court does not offer a form to request a continuance.
Valid reasons include personal emergencies, unavailability of essential evidence, and lack of legal representation. How do I notify the court? You can notify the court by directly speaking to the court clerk or filing a motion for continuance before the hearing begins.
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 ...
Generally, you can turn in a form to ask for a new court date and the court will make a decision and mail it to you. If the court date is less than 10 days away, though, you'll need to explain on the form why you waited so long to ask.
