I have taken the liberty to contact opposing counsel, and we both agree that a comprehensive trial preparation requires additional time.

Option 1: [Proposed Trial Date] 2. Option 2: [Proposed Trial Date] 3.

I assure you that by granting this request, the court will have ample time to reschedule the trial, allowing all parties to adequately prepare, eventually enhancing the administration of justice. Please advise me of the court's decision regarding the rescheduling of the trial at your earliest convenience. I will promptly update all concerned parties once I am informed of the new trial date. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in accommodating this request. Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Sincerely, [Your Name]
