If you need to request that a motion be set over to another date on a civil matter then you need to contact the attorney who cited the matter before the court and ask that attorney if the motion can be cited to another date. On civil or domestic cases only the attorney or party citing the motion before the court may cancel or reschedule the motion. If you have bail posted you could also be subject to forfeiture of that bail. If you fail to appear in court as ordered on a pending criminal case then the court will authorize a bench warrant for your arrest to issue.

The Clerk has no authority to reschedule a court date. The Court Facilitators cannot give legal advice or provide legal representation.
