—Scheduling for Proceedings

before Trial; Continuances Cases should be promptly assigned for arraign- ments, motions and other preliminary proceed- ings so as not unduly to delay the progress of the cases or to exceed time limits for such proceed- ings set by rule or administrative directive. Ordi- narily, continuances for any preliminary proceed- ings, when allowed under these rules, shall not exceed two weeks. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 975.)
