Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], I am writing to submit a motion to continue the proceeding related to [Case Name/Number] currently scheduled for [Date and Time]. [Explain the reason for requesting a continuance, such as]: 1. Unavailability of key witnesses: Due to unforeseen circumstances, crucial witnesses required for presenting a comprehensive case are unable to attend the scheduled hearing. Their presence is essential in order to present all the necessary facts and evidence accurately. Therefore, we kindly request a continuance to secure their participation on a mutually agreeable future date. 2. Newly discovered evidence: Upon conducting further investigation, we have recently obtained crucial evidence necessary for a fair resolution of this case. This evidence was discovered too close to the original hearing date to allow proper preparation and presentation. Granting a continuance would enable us to fully explore and present this evidence to the court. 3. Medical emergencies: A medical emergency has arisen either for one of the key parties involved in the case or an attorney directly connected to this matter. This unforeseen circumstance has rendered them unable to represent themselves or actively participate in the proceedings. We respectfully request a continuance to allow for adequate time for recovery and appropriate representation. 4. Conflict of schedule: The current hearing date coincides with another court hearing or engagement that is of equal importance and priority for the involved parties. It would be in the best interest of justice and fairness to grant a continuance, allowing all parties to attend to their respective obligations without compromising any party's rights. 5. Insufficient time for preparation: Due to the complexity and intricacy of the legal issues involved in this case, the current time available for preparation is inadequate to ensure the delivery of a well-founded and strong presentation. Granting a continuance would allow for adequate time to conduct further legal research and prepare a comprehensive argument on behalf of our client. We assure the court that this request for continuance is made in good faith and with the aim of ensuring a fair and just resolution of the matter at hand. Granting our motion will ultimately promote judicial efficiency by allowing all parties to present their case fully and effectively. We kindly request the court's favorable consideration and a prompt response to our motion. We remain available for any additional information or clarification required. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm/Representation] [Contact Information]
