LCrRLJ  3.3
                 CONTINUANCE OF COURT DATES


A. The court on its own motion or motion of the defendant or the
prosecuting attorney may continue scheduled court appearance in the
interest of justice or as authorized in CrRLJ 3.3(h).

B. Upon agreement by both parties in writing, 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 as long as speedy trial requirements are not violated.

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.  Upon good cause being
shown, the court may permit an Agreed Order of Continuance to be submitted
by the attorney for either 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.
