SLR 4-7.056: DISPOSITION OF CASE AFTER ASSIGNMENT TO TRIAL JUDGE, MOTION TO POSTPONE CASE ASSIGNED AT CALL MUST BE PRESENTED TO PRESIDING JUDGE

MOTION TO POSTPONE CASE ASSIGNED AT CALL MUST BE PRESENTED TO PRESIDING JUDGE Once a case is assigned for trial, including as a case set to follow, all matters affecting the trial, except any request to delay the assignment date for trial, are to be presented to the trial judge. The immediate unavailability of the trial judge is not grounds, absent an emergency, to present a matter to the Presiding Judge or any other judge. Requests for a delay of the trial date assigned by the Presiding Judge at Call must be presented to the Presiding Judge only, and shall not be made to the judge assigned for the trial of the action.
