Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Name of the Court] [Court Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: [Case Name and Number] Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name], I am writing this letter to request a continuance of the trial date scheduled for [Trial Date]. After thorough consultation with opposing counsel, it is in our mutual interest to seek an agreement to continue the trial date. We believe that additional time will significantly impact the outcome of this case. We understand that the court's schedule is busy, and we appreciate your attention to this matter. However, due to unexpected circumstances and the complexity of the case, both parties have concluded that a trial continuance is necessary to ensure a fair and just resolution. The primary reason for requesting a continuance is to allow adequate time for proper preparation, discovery, and the exploration of potential settlement options. We have made genuine efforts to engage in meaningful negotiations but have not yet reached a resolution satisfactory to all parties involved. Additional time will greatly enhance our ability to explore potential settlement avenues and potentially avoid the need for a trial altogether. Furthermore, certain key witnesses crucial to our case have recently become unavailable due to unforeseen medical emergencies. Given their relevance and importance to presenting our arguments, it is imperative that we have sufficient time to secure their participation. Both parties are committed to resolving this matter as efficiently as possible and respect the court's time. We assure you that a continuance will not result in unnecessary delay tactics. Instead, it will provide an opportunity for all parties involved to better prepare, conduct depositions, and potentially engage in alternative dispute resolution methods that may lead to a more timely resolution. We propose the following new trial date: [Proposed New Trial Date]. This alternative date takes into consideration the court's schedule and allows all parties involved ample time to complete the necessary preparations. We kindly request the court's approval for this continuance, understanding that we will not disrupt the court's plans more than necessary and will diligently work towards resolving this matter at the earliest possible date. Thank you for your understanding and consideration of this request. If the proposed continuance is acceptable, we kindly request that the court issue a formal order granting the approval of the continuance and notifying all parties involved. Please let us know if you require any additional information or if there are any further steps we need to take to complete this request. We remain fully committed to cooperating with the court and all parties involved to ensure a fair and just resolution of this case. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Attorney's Name, if applicable]
