Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], RE: Plaintiff's Motion to Continue This Action as a Pending Case I am writing on behalf of the Plaintiff in the aforementioned case to request a continuance of this action as a pending case. This request is being made due to unforeseen circumstances that have hindered the Plaintiff's ability to adequately prepare for the upcoming trial. We kindly ask the court's consideration in granting this motion. The Plaintiff, [Plaintiff's Name], filed this lawsuit against the Defendant, [Defendant's Name], to seek justice for the damages and losses suffered on [Date]. Since the initiation of this case, the Plaintiff has been diligently working on gathering evidence, conducting legal research, and preparing for trial. However, due to (explain the unforeseen circumstances), the Plaintiff has encountered significant difficulties in meeting the required deadlines and adequately preparing the case for trial. Montana's law allows for the continuance of a case under specific situations, such as when there is a change in circumstances, the need for additional evidence or discovery, or the unavailability of essential witnesses. In this particular case, the Plaintiff firmly believes that a continuance is necessary to ensure a fair and just outcome. Firstly, (provide specific reasons for the motion to continue). For example, a potential witness crucial to the case has become ill, rendering them unable to testify at the scheduled trial date. This witness possesses critical information that could significantly impact the outcome of the trial. Due to their current condition and unavailability, it is imperative that additional time be granted to secure their testimony. Secondly, (describe another reason for the motion to continue). For instance, due to the unexpected increase in case load within our firm, compounded with unforeseen complexities in the legal research, we require additional time to fully prepare our arguments and ensure our presentation is comprehensive and well-founded. Lastly, (provide another valid reason for the motion to continue). For instance, the Plaintiff has recently discovered potentially significant evidence that was not previously available. Admitting this evidence could significantly alter the course of the trial and provides substantial grounds to request a continuance so that the Plaintiff can properly incorporate this evidence into their case. Given the circumstances outlined above, the Plaintiff respectfully requests the court to grant a continuance of this action and reschedule the trial date. We firmly believe that this course of action will serve the interests of justice, fairness, and the overall integrity of the legal process. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we trust in the court's wisdom in reaching a just decision regarding this motion. Should you require any additional information or need to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm] [Your Contact Information]
