Considering the importance of justice and fairness in these proceedings, I urge you to grant this Motion for Additional Time. Granting this extension will allow me to execute my duties efficiently, uphold my client's rights, and contribute to maintaining the integrity of the Rhode Island Judicial System. I kindly request an additional _______ days/weeks to complete the necessary preparations and provide the court with a comprehensive defense on behalf of my client.
