RULE 8
CONTINUANCES
8.1 No continuances will be granted except upon written motion and entry approved by the assigned judge and reflected upon the court’s docket. Requests for continuances shall be signed by counsel of record, and if requested by the court or required by this rule, by the parties.
8.2 Any motion to continue an assigned trial date must be signed by counsel and the moving party and set forth good cause for continuing the assigned trial date. No motion for modification of the assigned trial date will be granted without a showing of good cause. If the motion to continue the trial date is made after the final pre-trial conference, no continuance will be granted without a showing of extraordinary circumstances, and only then where there is no alternative means of preventing a substantial injustice.
