A Stipulated Order of Continuance (SOC) is a pretrial disposition option in the state of Washington. In an SOC, in return for completion of a number of conditions, a case is dismissed at the end of the monitored program.
You must explain in your motion why you need the continuance. You must also show "good cause" for continuing the hearing. "Good cause" means having a very good reason for not being able to get ready for your case or go to your trial on the scheduled date.
1. Medical condition; 2. Significant changes in the circumstances; 3. Scheduling conflict. 4. Lack of preparation. You must request a continuance at least 5 business days prior to the hearing (if you are doing this in writing); if you are planning to just call, you can do so no later than 2 days prior to the hearing.
Example: I am a full-time student at University College and I have final exams scheduled for that day and time.) 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.
Some of the reasons that might necessitate a continuance include: You need additional time to secure an attorney to represent you in court. You need more time to gather evidence because the other side has been stalling on discovery requests. You need more time to locate witnesses who are critical to your case.

Your letter can be typed or neatly handwritten. You should date and sign your letter. You don't need to write formal words to the Court, just make sure everything in your letter is genuine. It is usually a good idea to keep your letter to a page in length, and no more than two pages.
Under Washington's civil statute of limitation laws, personal injury claims have a three-year limit for filing, as do fraud, injury to property, and trespassing. Debt collection has a six-year limit. Statutes of limitations aren't suggestions. They are mandatory time limits that the state imposes on most lawsuits.
