SLR 13-4.013: Postponements

(1) Motions to postpone or continue any hearing may be presented to the assigned judge by setting a scheduling conference with the assigned judge. Both the defense attorney and assigned district attorney must be present at the scheduling conference. Motions to postpone or continue will not be allowed by the judge absent good cause shown if received less than three judicial days before the next appearance in that court. (2) Motions to postpone or continue shall be accompanied by a supporting declaration and a proposed form of order. No motion shall be submitted without contacting opposing counsel (or a party, if unrepresented). Any such motion submitted without contacting the opposing counsel will be denied by the court. (3) Hearings of two hours or less may be postponed or continued by stipulation without a written motion if the court is notified more than forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled hearing. (4) All motions should be submitted as soon as the party is aware of the need for a postponement or continuance, but no later than noon the day before the hearing. Except for good cause shown, noncompliance may be grounds for denial.
