Mail

Unless the Court directs otherwise, jury-duty summonses must be served by ordinary first-class mail at least ten days before trial.

A witness’s failure to appear is not grounds for a continuance when the praecipe was not timely filed.

The Court may extend filing time for pleadings or other matters, in its discretion, upon a motion showing good cause and complying with the Civil Rules.

A continuance request must state its reason in a written motion or be made on the record in open Court, and continuances are discretionary and granted only for good cause.
