Rule 8.5. Continuance After Scheduled for Trial

Continuances will not be granted merely by agreement of counsel. Actions will not be removed from a published trial calendar except by court direction upon such terms as reasonably may be imposed, including the possible imposition of a penalty of up to $50 upon the moving party if, absent statutory grounds or good cause, a motion for continuance of an action is first made within 5 days of the trial week scheduled.
