[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Position] [Name of Court] [Court's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Request for Continuance of Trial Date — Agreement to Continue Trial Dear [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing as a party involved in the case [Case Name], docket number [Case Number], which is scheduled for trial on [Trial Date]. I, along with the opposing party, [Opposing Party's Name], respectfully request a continuance of the trial date. After considerable discussion and negotiation, both parties have reached an agreement to continue the trial to a later date. This agreement has been reached with the sincere intention of ensuring a fair and just trial, allowing us to present our case comprehensively, and to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances that may affect the progress of this litigation. The reasons necessitating this continuance are [Provide detailed and justifiable reasons for the request, such as]: 1. The need for additional time to gather and review crucial evidence, documents, and witness testimonies, which are essential for presenting a thorough and strong case. 2. The unavailability of a key expert witness, who is currently tied up on another trial, but whose testimony is crucial in determining the outcome of this case. 3. The unexpected illness of my attorney, [Your Attorney's Name], who is unable to adequately prepare for trial or attend the scheduled trial date due to medical reasons. 4. Unforeseen personal circumstances, such as the recent family bereavement, which has significantly impacted my ability to actively participate in trial preparations. Taking into account the complexity and significance of this case, I believe that granting a continuance will ensure the proceedings proceed fairly and allow both parties to present the strongest arguments and evidence in support of their respective positions. I have discussed this matter with [Opposing Party's Name], who is supportive of the continuance and is willing to accommodate the proposed extension of the trial date. We kindly request your favorable consideration of this request and an extension of the trial date to a mutually agreeable date. We understand the potential impact this continuance may have on the court's schedule, and we assure you that if granted, we will exert every effort to minimize any inconvenience caused by this adjustment. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we trust that you will give this request due consideration. We would be grateful for any instructions you may provide concerning the procedure for formalizing this agreement and the subsequent rescheduling of the trial. Please find attached a copy of this agreement signed by both parties for your reference. If you require any additional information or documentation, please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or via email at [Your Email Address]. We await your prompt response and guidance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Case's Docket Number]
