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)).
A Motion for Continuance is a motion that one party files with the court seeking the court move a hearing or other court date.
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.
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.
