N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 5
The Supreme Court has ordered that each district have a continuance policy, and there is a need to have a uniform continuance policy in the District Courts of Judicial District 16B. Common sense and logic, as well as fairness, should be employed in the application and interpretation of these rules and policies.
Any of these rules in conflict with the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of North Carolina, the North Carolina General Statutes, or Rules of the North Carolina Supreme Court shall be resolved in favor of such Constitution, General Statute or Supreme Court Rule.
These rules and policies supersede any previously issued local rules and policies addressing the same subject matter. These rules and policies are effective August 15, 2022, and shall apply to all motions for continuance made or heard on and after that date, insofar as practical, to ALL pending cases
