Prepare the Motion: Write a formal motion for a continuance, clearly stating the reasons why you need the case to be postponed. Be specific about the circumstances that make it impossible or impractical for you to appear in court on the scheduled date.
Circumstances that may indicate good cause for a continuance include the unavailability of an essential witness (CRC 3.1332 (c)(1)); the unavailability of a party because of death, illness, or other excusable circumstances (CRC 3.1332 (c)(2)); or a significant, unanticipated change in the status of the case as a result ...
Begin with a formal salutation, such as "Dear Judge Last Name," and introduce yourself and your case. Clearly state your reasons for requesting a continuance and provide supporting evidence. Conclude your letter by expressing your gratitude and willingness to cooperate with the court's decision.
The Petition for Dismissal is a process that allows you to clean up your criminal record. The Petition will reopen your criminal case and allows you to withdraw the plea or guilty verdict, dismiss the charges, and re-close the case without a conviction.
The request MUST BE SUPPORTED by a declaration signed under penalty of perjury that clearly explains the reasons for requesting a continuance and why the the timeline for a continuance is appropriate under the circumstances. The Court does not offer a form to request a continuance.
Valid reasons include personal emergencies, unavailability of essential evidence, and lack of legal representation. How do I notify the court? You can notify the court by directly speaking to the court clerk or filing a motion for continuance before the hearing begins.
You can file a request for a continuance in advance of the upcoming hearing date. If you contact the clerk's office at the courthouse where your case is being processed they should be able to provide you with the packet of forms for filing a request for a continuance.
If you need to speak with a representative, please call either (909) 884-1858 or email Jury@sb-court. Note: If you cannot reach us by telephone, or have not been excused, you must appear at the court location listed on your summons.
Writing Your Letter Search for a form letter. Some courts print off forms that you can use to request a hearing. Open a word processing document. Insert a salutation. Add a heading. Begin the letter with your request. Explain why you need the hearing. Provide a contact number. Sign the letter.
Once the court grants the Request for Dismissal, the case is closed, and the lawsuit is officially ended. It's essential to note that a dismissal can be with or without prejudice.
