Continuances

(a) Attorney Engaged. A party is entitled to a continuance on the ground that the party's attorney is actually engaged in another trial or hearing, but only for the duration of the particular trial or hearing in which the attorney is then engaged. (b) Other Continuances. Motions for continuance must be promptly filed as soon as the grounds are known and will be granted only for good cause shown, either by a declaration or otherwise. The requirements of Rule 3.2 do not apply to motions for continuance filed less than 21 days before the trial or hearing. Prior to filing a motion for continuance less than 21 days before the trial or hearing, a party must attempt to contact the other party and indicate in the motion whether the other party agrees or objects to the motion for continuance. Stipulations for continuance will not be recognized except for good cause shown. Every continuance granted upon motion must be to a future date consistent with the docket currency standards for district courts, except for good cause shown.
