Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. A North Carolina Motion for Continuance to Complete Discovery or in the Alternative Continuance of Summary Judgment Motion is a legal document filed in a court proceeding that requests additional time to complete the discovery phase or, alternatively, to delay a summary judgment motion. These motions are commonly utilized in civil litigation cases to ensure the parties involved have a fair chance to gather relevant evidence and prepare their arguments effectively. When a party believes that they have not been given enough time to complete the discovery process adequately, they can file a Motion for Continuance to Complete Discovery. This motion seeks to extend the pre-trial period to allow additional time for depositions, document production requests, interrogatories, or other information-gathering measures. By filing this motion, the party requests a postponement of the trial date to complete the necessary steps in the discovery process. Alternatively, a party may file a Motion for Continuance of Summary Judgment Motion if they need more time to respond to a summary judgment motion filed by the opposing party. A summary judgment motion asks the court to make a ruling on the case based on the evidence presented and without a trial. The responding party, often feeling unprepared or lacking sufficient evidence at that stage, may request a continuance to gather relevant evidence, question witnesses, or conduct additional research to present a strong counter-argument.
