Rule 13 . Continuances.

1. No continuance of a trial in a civil or criminal case shall be granted except for good cause. A motion or stipulation for continuance shall state the reason therefor and whether or not any previous request for continuance had been either sought or granted. The motion or stipulation must certify that the party or parties have been advised that a motion or stipulation for continuance is to be submitted in their behalf and must state any objection the parties may have thereto. 2. If a continuance of any trial is granted, the parties must appear in the individual court department within 7 days and reset the case, unless the court waives this requirement. Failure to follow this rule may result in the court setting the trial date.
