Complete verbatim requirement set published by this division on the topic of continuances & cancellations, captured 2026-07-24. Each clause is reproduced exactly as the division publishes it; only HTML whitespace was normalised. • Any request for continuance must be in writing, co-signed by the Client, and noticed for Hearing on the U.M.C. Calendar. Alternatively, if the continuance is agreed to by opposing Counsel, Counsel may submit an agreed continuance order for the Court's consideration. The submission of an agreed order for continuance does not guarantee a continuance will be granted and the Court might set a hearing on the agreed order. • Once a petition or motion is referred to the General Magistrate with "all related matters thereto", all discovery issues, procedural motions/matters, motions in limine, etc., as well as any motion for continuance is to be heard by the General Magistrate and does not require additional orders of referral. It is the function of the General Magistrate to alleviate and assist in the Circuit Judge(s) caseload, part and parcel of which is the global disposition of all ancillary motions/issues pertaining to the underlying action or motion previously referred.

Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: c6c252729c031ceead5cdf391dba1af252f8e3bce6c3a282483d457828f430eb. Clauses under 60 characters (navigation labels and section headings) were excluded; 628 such fragments were dropped circuit-wide. A separate curated highlight rule may cover one of these clauses with a sharper title — de-duplication is an open curation task, not a data gap.
