CONTINUANCE — KEY FACTS

  • Continuances are at the court's discretion — not guaranteed
  • Contact the DA's office first — they often agree to continue
  • If DA agrees, note that on your motion — it helps
  • If you miss court without a continuance, an FTA will be issued
  • FTA triggers license revocation — $50 DMV reinstatement fee
  • Get written confirmation if DA agrees to continue
  • Bring this motion to court on the scheduled date
