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. • Once an action for non-jury trial or motion is referred to the Magistrate all discovery issues, procedural motions/matters, motions in limine, etc., as well as any motion for continuance is to be heard by the Magistrate not the Circuit Judge. It is the function of the 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. • Cancellations may occur by (1) Agreed Order confirming that the matter has been resolved and the pending matter resolved or withdrawn; or (2) Notice of cancellation confirming that the matter has been resolved and the pending motion or petition resolved or withdrawn; (3) All cancellations must be approved by the Magistrate. The proposed Agreed Order shall include the Agreement, and if applicable, the Parenting Plan and Child Support Guidelines Worksheet.

Reviewer note: Complete-coverage record. Page sha256: 39e6701d3ca5321350bd8f6defc5c8478f6bab2e5eaf389b1cc2db7f2205c33d. 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.
