Continuances

No request for the continuance of a trial scheduled in the Short Trial Program may be granted except by leave for good cause shown, including by stipulation. A motion or stipulation for a continuance must be in writing and served on the short trial judge, must state the good cause justifying a continuance, and must otherwise comply with local rules. The short trial judge may issue an amended trial order granting a continuance and scheduling trial for a date approved by the commissioner.
