ty24 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have a hearing coming up for a date in which I am scheduled to take a professional examination. I am curious how in-depth my motion for cntinuance should be? Below is what I have put together. Is this too much information? TIA for your help!!!Comes now Defendant, Mr. X, appearing pro se, moves this honorable court for a continuance of the hearing currently scheduled for Month Day, Yr. The reason for this request is the Defendant is currently scheduled to take a X Professional examination on this date at X time. In order to reschedule this examination, the Defendant would have to pay a $XX fee if canceled within thirty days of the exam date and a $XXX fee if canceled within five days of the exam date. At this time the Defendant cannot afford to pay these rescheduling fees. This exam is very important to the Defendant’s career and finding a job in the near future. Respectfully, Mr. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazjeepcj7 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Which activity was scheduled first, the test or the hearing on the lawsuit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty24 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Which activity was scheduled first, the test or the hearing on the lawsuit?I'm not sure that it matters, but the exam was scheduled well in advance of the hearing. I had one hearing scheduled before I scheduled the exam, so I scheduled the exam around that hearing and then they added this one about a week ago.

nascar Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sure, most judges are willing to work with you. It's the second or third request that gets them a bit irritated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
