Rule 2 - MOTIONS FOR CONTINUANCE-CRIMINAL CASES
As amended through June 18, 2024
Criminal cases should be disposed of at the earliest opportunity, including the first trial setting; however, when compelling reasons for continuance are presented which would affect the fundamental fairness of the trial process, a continuance may be granted for good cause, or other grounds provided by law. Requests for continuances not addressed below that are made after 180 days from the first calendaring before a judge shall be granted only for extraordinary cause.
