[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Courthouse Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Trial Continuance — Attempt to Schedule New Trial Case No: [Case Number] Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to humbly request a trial continuance for the above-mentioned case. I apologize for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause, and I assure you that this request is made in good faith. Furthermore, I understand that the trial date is currently scheduled for [Trial Date], and I am mindful of the importance of timely court proceedings. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to adequately prepare for trial within the given timeframe. I believe that granting a continuance would serve the interests of justice and allow for a fair and thorough trial. The reasons for my request are as follows: 1. Insufficient Time for Discovery: The complexity of this case and the voluminous amount of evidence presented by the opposing party have made it exceedingly challenging for me to complete the necessary discovery within the allotted time. Granting a trial continuance would afford me the opportunity to thoroughly review and analyze all evidence, asserting my rights to due process. 2. Unforeseen Medical Issue: Unfortunately, I have recently been diagnosed with [Medical Issue]. As a result of this health concern, I have been advised by my healthcare provider to limit my physical and mental exertion for the immediate future. Consequently, it would be imprudent and potentially detrimental to my health to proceed with the trial as scheduled. 3. Calendar Conflicts: My legal counsel has informed me that they have encountered an unforeseen scheduling conflict that prevents them from representing me during the originally scheduled trial date. Their absence would severely hinder my ability to present a coherent and effective defense, compromising the integrity of the judicial process. Considering the aforementioned circumstances, and in the interest of justice, I kindly request that the court grant a trial continuance and schedule a new trial date that accommodates all parties involved. I am more than willing to cooperate with the court's availability and adjust my schedule accordingly to ensure a suitable new trial date. I understand the importance of honoring the court's time and efforts in scheduling trials and appreciate your careful consideration of this request. If necessary, I am prepared to provide any additional documentation or information to support my request for a trial continuance. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust in your wisdom and discretion to act in the best interest of justice. Should you have any further questions or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or via email at [Email Address]. I eagerly await your favorable response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name][Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Courthouse Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Trial Continuance — Attempt to Schedule New Trial Case No: [Case Number] Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits.
