LCrRLJ 3.3
            VERIFICATION OF TRIAL DATE – CONTINUANCES


(f)(3)    Counsel and parties shall be responsible for keeping
     themselves informed of the date and time of trials, and must
     contact the clerk of the court one business day prior to the
     trial date to verify the starting time of the trial.

(h)  Continuances or other delays may be granted as follows:

     (1)  By stipulation: Upon written agreement of the parties,
          which must be signed by the defendant or all
          defendants, and with the express approval of the court.
          The agreement shall be effective when approved by the
          court on the record or in writing.

     (2)  By motion: On motion of the prosecuting authority, the
          court, or a party, the court may continue the case when
          required in the administration of justice and defendant
          will not be substantially prejudiced in the
          presentation of his or her defense.  The motion must be
          filed on or before the date set for trial or the last
          day of any continuance or extension granted pursuant to
          this rule.  The court must state on the record or in
          writing the reasons for the continuance.  If the court
          grants the continuance, it may also impose such terms
          as would be equitable.

     (3)  The court will not continue a trial date or other final
          disposition beyond the applicable time for trial under
          CrRLJ 3.3 without a signed speedy trial waiver.
