CRITICAL

A non-agreed continuance filed less than seven days before a hearing is presumptively denied, and the filing party should not rely on it without a signed order.

Non-agreed continuances filed less than seven (7) days prior to hearing are presumptively DENIED and the filing party should not rely on the Continuance Motion without a signed Order.

CRITICAL

For a continuance agreed to by all parties, notify the Court Coordinator, who will consult with the Judge before removing the matter from the docket.

If you have a continuance that is agreed to by all parties, please contact the Court Coordinator and advise her of this and she will consult with the Judge prior to removing the matter from the docket.

WARNING

Party agreement does not automatically grant a continuance, and filing a Motion for Continuance alone does not ensure it will be granted.

Continuances are not automatic upon agreement by the parties. Mere filing of a Motion for Continuance does not mean the continuance will be granted.
