FAQ
If you wish to ask the Court to reschedule a hearing you must file a Motion for Continuance. The Court may reschedule a hearing upon the request of a party for good cause. The Motion for Continuance must be supported by an Affidavit stating the reason(s) why you need to have the hearing rescheduled.
Typically, there's no limit on the number of continuances that a defendant can request. That said, a judge won't look favorably on repeated requests, especially if they appear to be delay tactics. Repeated requests, made without good cause, will be denied. (The judge could also reprimand the lawyer.)
Except for motions made during a hearing or during trial, motions are required to be in writing. They must also be filed in court and served on the opposing party's attorney (or the party if not represented by counsel). If the motion is contested, the opposing attorneys will also file papers opposing the motion.
To request a continuance, you must file a motion with the Court which contains the case name, case number(s), and an explanation of your reason for requesting a continuance. A form is provided for your convenience under the Court Forms tab on this website.
In some circumstances, you file a petition or a motion. The court has several complaint forms that you may use in drafting your complaint. The forms are available online and at the Pro Se Intake Unit. You may also write your own complaint without using a court form.
Defendants may move to dismiss on the following grounds: Lack of subject matter jurisdiction (FRCP 12(b)(1)Opens in a new window). Lack of personal jurisdiction (FRCP 12(b)(2)Opens in a new window). Improper venue (FRCP 12(b)(3)Opens in a new window).
Steps Check if the court has blank motion forms. Some courts have "check the boxes" or "fill in the blank" motion forms. Create your caption. Title your motion. Draft the introductory paragraph to the body of the motion. Request relief. Lay out the applicable facts. Make your legal argument. Insert a signature block.

(C) A motion for a continuance shall not be granted unless good cause and proper diligence is demonstrated. No party shall be granted a continuance of a trial or hearing without a written motion from the party or counsel stating the reason for the continuance.A continuance is when the court grants a request to delay a hearing, trial, or other legal proceedings until a later date. Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) is common in cases where the evidence supports a guilty finding. Where circumstances give rise to a compelling need for a continuance, a motion to vacate the trial date should be filed promptly. You can file a Motion for continuance if you have good cause that prevents you from attending court. Please refer to Local Rule 4.20 (PDF). If you cannot make it to court on the trial date, you may request a continuance to reschedule the hearing to a future date. You can also find a sample motion for continuance on the Ohio Supreme Court website.
