Subject: Request for Continuance — Notification of Court Administrator in Maryland Dear [Court Administrator's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss a matter regarding an upcoming court hearing in [County/State] for which I would like to request a continuance. I understand the importance of efficient court processes; however, due to unavoidable circumstances, I find myself unable to appear for the scheduled hearing on [Date]. Furthermore, I am writing this letter well in advance to notify the court and request a continuance for the following reasons: 1. Medical or Health-related Grounds: If I am unable to attend the hearing due to serious illness, hospitalization, or any medical emergency, I assure you that I have attached appropriate supporting documentation from my healthcare provider. This is to substantiate my inability to participate in the scheduled proceedings on [Date]. 2. Unforeseen Personal Obligations: In case of an unforeseen personal or family matter that necessitates my presence and would cause undue hardship if I were to proceed with the hearing, I humbly request a continuance. Providing relevant details and documentation pertaining to the situation will be promptly submitted upon request. 3. Legal Representation Unavailability: If my legal counsel is unavailable on the assigned date due to a conflicting court case or any other compelling reason, please consider granting a continuance to ensure that I am adequately represented during the proceedings. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the court or any other parties involved in this case. I assure you that this request is not made in an attempt to delay or hinder the judicial process, but rather to ensure fairness and justice are upheld. With the utmost respect for the court's time and resources, I kindly request your consideration for granting a continuance for the aforementioned reasons. I am, if needed, prepared to provide any additional information or documentation required to support my request. I understand that the court's decision regarding a continuance rests in your capable hands. Please let me know the necessary steps to follow or forms to complete to formalize this request. I would be grateful for any guidance you can provide. Thank you for your understanding and for considering my request. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] [Case Number, if applicable] [Contact Information]
