A motion for a continuance is a request asking the judge to make an order changing your hearing date. If the judge grants your motion, your court date will be postponed to a later time. For most requests for continuances, you must provide the judge with a suitable reason (good cause) for postponing your court date.
Civil Petition: $200.00 to file plus service. If there are multiple Defendants, there is a fee of $15 each. For example, if there are three (3) Defendants listed on the petition, the filing fee would be $245.00 plus service.
A request for a continuance of any hearing should be made by written motion. Oral motions to continue are discouraged. The motion should set forth in detail the reasons for the request and, if appropriate, be supported by evidence.
In criminal proceedings when the defendant is in custody, the magistrate may continue the matter no more than once on his own motion over the objection of the defendant and such continuance over the objection of the defendant shall not be for more than two days.
Excessive or unjustified continuances can undermine your Sixth Amendment rights. Minnesota courts must balance delay requests with the constitutional guarantee of a timely trial. If a defendant remains in custody or suffers prejudice due to delay, a continuance may be denied or result in dismissed charges.
