RULE NO. 18                                              
                 CONTINUANCE OF COURT DATES                                      
                                                                                 
    A. The court on its own motion or motion of the defendant or the             
prosecuting attorney may continue a scheduled court appearance in the            
interest of justice or as authorized in CRRLJ 3.3(h).                            
    B. Upon agreement by both parties, the Calendar Coordinator is               
authorized to continue a hearing without leave of court upon request of          
either party within two (2) weeks of the date of issuance of the notice for      
the hearing.                                                                     
    C. Any other request for continuance shall require appearance in court       
by the party or attorney requesting the continuance, at a date and time to       
be scheduled by the Calendar Coordinator. Unless both the parties stipulate      
to the continuance request, the objecting party must be given notice of the      
hearing by the requesting party.                                                 
    D. The defendant must file a waiver of speedy trial if the continuance       
has the possibility of impairing the court's ability to schedule a trial         
within 60/90 days.                                                               
    E. In computing any period of time herein, the court adopts CRLJ 6(a),       
which by reference is made a part hereof.
