Subject: South Carolina Sample Letter for Continuance — Notification of Court Administrator Dear [Court Administrator's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request a continuance for a court case that is scheduled to take place on [date] at [time], in [Court Name], [City], South Carolina. I, [Your Name], am the plaintiff/defendant in the aforementioned case and unfortunately, circumstances have arisen that necessitate the need to reschedule the hearing. The nature of my request is supported by valid reasons, which I believe should be taken into consideration by the honorable court. In light of the current situation, I kindly ask for your assistance in rescheduling the court hearing to a later date. The reasons for this continuance request are as follows: 1. Medical/Dental Emergency: I have recently suffered a medical/dental emergency that requires immediate attention or further medical procedures. Due to the gravity of the situation, it is imperative that I prioritize my health before attending the court hearing. 2. Unavoidable Conflict: A significant conflict has arisen in my schedule, making it impossible for me to attend the court hearing on the scheduled date. [Elaborate here on the reason for the conflict, such as family emergencies, unchangeable work commitments, etc.] 3. Insufficient Time for Proper Legal Preparation: Given the complexity of this case, I require additional time to adequately prepare my defense/plaintiff documents, gather evidence, or consult with expert witnesses. Granting a continuance would guarantee a fair and just trial for all parties involved. 4. Unforeseen Events: In unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances such as personal adversities, accidents, or extreme weather conditions, I am unable to attend the court hearing as planned on [date]. Rescheduling would ensure that I can participate fully and effectively in the proceedings, upholding the principles of justice. I understand the importance of adhering to the court's schedule and the impact any delay may cause. However, I strongly believe that a continuance is in the best interest of all parties involved, and it will help to uphold the standards of fairness, equity, and justice. I kindly request that you grant this continuance and provide an alternative date for the court hearing at the earliest convenience. Additionally, I assure you that there will be no further requests for continuances, and I will diligently comply with any rescheduled hearing date. Kindly confirm the receipt of this letter at your earliest convenience, and please notify the opposing party accordingly. I express my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused due to this request and appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your favorable response.
