L CrRLJ 3.3

(h)  Continuances.

     (3)  Any requests for continuance, made orally in open
          court or in writing by Defendant’s counsel or the
          Defendant, shall require the Court to reinform the
          Defendant of his or her speedy trial rights before
          the motion is granted or denied.  The Court shall
          not grant a motion for continuance beyond the
          Defendant’s originally calculated speedy trial
          time, unless the Defendant (or Defendant’s
          counsel, upon counsel’s representation that the
          Defendant has been informed of his or her speedy
          trial rights and has authorized counsel to waive
          them) signs a Waiver of Speedy Trial upon a form
          supplied by the Court.  The Defendant or counsel
          must understand, before signing the waiver, that
          the Court will be waiving the Defendant’s speedy
          trial rights to a date certain, upon which date
          the applicable 60 day or 90 day period will begin
          to run anew.
