Prior to filing a motion for continuance, the party seeking a continuance in a civil case must confer with the opposing party or parties in an effort to secure an agreement to the delay. Except in case of emergency, a motion for continuance in a civil case shall be in writing, state why the postponement is necessary, and shall be filed with the Court at least three (3) business days preceding the date of trial or hearing.
