A.Unopposed Continuances

Motions directed to specific parties may be continued as allowed by the BLR or by stipulation.  Courtroom Deputy Ms. Ruby Bautista must be notified 72 hours in advance of any scheduled hearing of such continuance.  The moving party shall file and serve a notice of the continued hearing.  If the moving party fails to file a notice of the continued hearing by the time of the hearing, the motion may be denied for lack of prosecution. 

Motions or applications noticed to creditors generally – including asset sales, motions to convert or dismiss, etc. – shall be continued on the record at the time set for hearing in the notice.  Courtroom Deputy Ms. Ruby Bautista must be notified 72 hours in advance of such continuances.

B.Opposed Continuances

A party requesting a continuance that is opposed must comply with BLR 9006-1.

C.Trials

Generally speaking, trials will not be continued for anything less than a compelling reason.  A request for continuance must be made by noticed motion or by a written stipulation stating the reason for the requested continuance.  Parties requesting a continuance of a trial should comply with BLR 9006-1.  The agreement of parties to continue a trial does not bind the Court.
