Request for Continuance
All requests for continuance should be drafted using the forms the court has provided.
Do not write a letter to the Court. This is unnecessary, not what the court wants, and takes additional time.
There are 2 templates available in mycase depending on what district you are in:
FAM – Continuance Request – 5th district
FAM – Continuance Request – 3rd district
***See also 3rd District Continuance Request Policy & Instructions: 3rd District Continuance Request Policy
If you are in a district other than 3rd or 5th, use the 5th district form as it is non-distinct and covers everything the court generally wants to know.
Third District CSM Magistrate (expedited) hearings – Per 3rd district newsletter on 4/1/25, ALL requests for continuance in CSM Magistrate hearings should be filed as “request for continuance” NEVER “request for continuance needed judicial approval”.
