Significant, Unanticipated Change in Case Status Constitutes Good Cause for Continuance. The circumstances that may indicate good cause for a continuance include a significant, unanticipated change in the status of the case as a result of which the case is not ready for trial ( Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 3.1332(c)(7)).
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST that the Court grant my Request for Continuance. I ALSO REQUEST that the Court award any other relief it considers fair and proper. I ? DO request an oral hearing in front of the judge on this motion. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
"Your honor, I am ______. I am the defendant (or the plaintiff) in this case. I would like to request a continuance". Then be ready to tell the court, when asked, why you need for the matter to be continued.
Continuances are traditionally granted to allow the defendant additional time for procuring an absent witness, or other evidence necessary for the defense or the prosecution of the applicant's case.
Obviously if you have a medical emergency and in the hospital that could very well grant you a continuance. But there's not a lot of valid reasons to miss a court date. But if you think you have a reason, notify the clerk as soon as possible.
