Although a continuance is the result of a court order, issued by the judge in a trial or hearing, it also can come from a statute or law. The terms continuance and postponement are frequently used interchangeably.
Ask for a continuance. You can do this in person, by phone or in writing. The Court will allow one continuance for arraignments or trials if the parties have waived their right to trial within time periods set by law. If your court date is for arraignment, you must ask for your continuance at least ten court days before that date. If your court date is for court trial, you must ask for your continuance at least ten court days before that date. If the Commissioner set your court date, the clerk CANNOT postpone your case. You must write a letter to the Court to ask for a continuance.
