                                            CONTINUANCE OF COURT DATES

                                           RESCINDED SEPTEMBER 1, 2015


    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.
