RULE 10.
                        CONTINUANCES.


     A) Arraignments - The court administrator may, for good
cause, continue an arraignment at the request of the
defendant or counsel to the next available court session
except in those cases when the charging document states that
one or more of the charges involves domestic violence,
harassment, violation of a no contact order, protection
order or anti-harassment order, stalking, driving under the
influence of intoxicants and/or drugs, physical control or
minor under 21 operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol.

     B) Bench Trials - Stipulations.  The court will grant a
continuance of a bench trial date upon the stipulation of
the parties, if filed with the court at least three (3)
business days prior to the date set for trial.

     C) Bench Trials - Written Motion.  All requests for a
continuance of a bench trial date not stipulated to by the
opposing party shall be made by written motion and affidavit
at least five (5) business days prior to the date set for
trial, after notice to the opposing party.

     D) Jury Trials.  All requests for a continuance of a jury
trial shall be presented by a written motion and affidavit
with notice provided to the opposing party.  Such motions
shall be made at the pretrial hearing.

     E) Good Cause.  A motion for continuance of an
arraignment, bench trial or a jury trial will be granted
only upon a showing of good cause.  The following shall be
deemed good cause:

     1) Illness with such verification as may be required by
the court; or,

     2) Unavoidable and/or unforeseen conflicts; or,

     3) For trials, lack of discovery or discovery of new
evidence requiring investigation; or,

     4) Other causes, in the discretion of the court.

     F) Imposition of Costs.  Payment of costs of the court and the
opposing party may be a condition for granting a motion for continuance.

     G) Speedy Trial Waiver.  A waiver of the right to a speedy
trial may be required as a condition for granting a motion
for continuance.  A motion for continuance made by the
defendant or defense attorney shall be deemed a waiver of
speedy trial, effective until the next date scheduled for the trial.

     H)  Infraction Hearings.  One telephonic request for a
continuance may be granted by the court administrator.
Thereafter, a request must be in writing and approved by the court.
