A request for continuance must be made either by the

scheduled hearing.  Only the following hearings are eligible
for a one-time continuance by the clerk:

  1)  Non-Prosecutor Contested Hearings
  2)  Non-DV and Non-DUI Arraignments
  3)  For a first time continuance of a Pre trial hearing,
      the Court will require an agreed motion to continue, filed

      the scheduled hearing.  Upon receiving the agreed order
      and/or waiver, the clerk will reschedule the hearing.

If a motion for continuance is received and it is not
agreed, the clerk will file the motion in the court file.
The motion to continue will be determined by the Judge at
the scheduled hearing.
