  • Grounds for a trial continuance should be presented at the Pre-Trial setting or at least ten days before the trial setting at the call of the docket.

  • For a continuance based on counsel's trial setting elsewhere, the motion should identify the other court and case and estimate counsel's unavailability, and the Court may verify that counsel's appearance is necessary.
