Dear [Judge's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to request a continuance for the court date scheduled for [date] in the case of [case name]. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to attend the court hearing on the current date. I understand the importance of timeliness in the judicial system and I apologize for any inconvenience this request may cause. However, I assure you that my absence from the scheduled hearing is essential due to the following compelling reasons: 1. Medical Emergency: At the time of the court hearing, I will be undergoing a necessary medical procedure that requires immediate attention. The procedure has been scheduled in advance, and the medical team has confirmed the importance of my presence and compliance with the treatment. I have attached the relevant medical documentation, including a letter from my treating physician, for your perusal. 2. Unavoidable Family Commitment: I am the primary caretaker of my elderly parent/spouse/child, who has recently fallen seriously ill. Their condition requires constant care and assistance, and I have been entrusted with their well-being. Unfortunately, the scheduled court date coincides with a vital medical appointment they have, which I cannot delegate to someone else. I have attached the appropriate documentation, including a letter from their healthcare provider, to support this claim. 3. Unavailability of Essential Witnesses: Several essential witnesses crucial to my defense have informed me of their unavailability on the current court date. These witnesses possess key information that can significantly impact the outcome of the case. Their testimonies are vital in ensuring a fair and just trial for all involved parties. I have shared the witnesses' affidavits along with this letter and kindly request the court's consideration to reschedule the hearing at the earliest possible date when the witnesses are available. Given the circumstances mentioned above, it is my humble request to reschedule the court hearing for the earliest date possible. I understand the need for swift justice and the court's busy schedule; however, a prompt resolution of this matter serves the interest of justice and fairness. I assure you that this request is made in good faith and not as a tactic to delay the proceedings. Furthermore, I am fully committed to cooperating with the court's instructions and timelines once the case is rescheduled. Thank you for your time and kind consideration. I trust that you will understand the gravity of the circumstances necessitating this request for a continuance. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
