The Motion for Continuance must contain the following: 1. A detailed explanation of your reasons for the continuance along with any supporting documentation if applicable; 2. A detailed explanation of your effort to contact the opposing party/attorney regarding the continuance; 3. Your signature; and 4.
A continuance is a court-approved delay of a scheduled hearing or trial. Acceptable reasons often include illness, unavailability of key witnesses, new evidence discovery, or attorney scheduling conflicts. Courts require timely requests, usually in writing, explaining the reason and impact on the case.
Can I ask for a continuance? Maybe. Often, a pro se person (a person representing herself without an attorney) has more luck getting a continuance than an attorney does. (A judge thinks, ``Well, the attorney is here -- why does she need a continuance?) You can always ask.
A 1050 motion to continue is a request in a criminal case to postpone a court date. The date could be for a pretrial matter or a trial.
Can You Request A Continuance Without A Lawyer? Yes, you can. Courts allow people to represent themselves, and that includes filing motions like a request for a continuance. This is totally normal and completely legal.

It is actually not very hard to get an extension of time to file an appellate brief. In fact, extensions of time are pretty frequent, as its a very short amount of time to get a brief research and drafted. In fact, many lawyers ask for extensions of time, too. You would not be out of bounds asking for one here.
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.
