"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.

Your request via email and/or letter will need to include the original filing dates, new proposed filing dates, the number of previous requests (if any), and whether the other party consents to the extension. Email a copy of the letter you file to the other party (usually it's an attorney).
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.
