Plaintiff
v.
Coldwither54
Defendant
MOTION FOR A CONTINUANCE
TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
COMES NOW the Defendant, who would like it noted for the record that he is not stalling, and
moves this Court for a continuance of all proceedings for a period of no less than three (3)
weeks, or until such time as certain unavoidable, deeply pressing, and frankly
Court-should-understand scheduling conflicts have resolved themselves.
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS GIVING RISE TO THIS URGENT
REQUEST
1. Defendant has been made aware of a Ridgeway-adjacent event of considerable personal
importance, the nature of which he is not obligated to disclose but will describe generally
as "a thing I have to go to."
2. This event has been on Defendant's calendar for what he estimates to be "a while now,"
predating, he believes, even the underlying incident at BloxMart, though Defendant
concedes he did not actually consult a calendar before making this claim.
3. Defendant's attendance at said event is not merely social. It is, in Defendant's words,
"kind of a big deal," and rescheduling it would cause "actual, real damage" to his
standing among persons whose names he also declines to disclose.
4. Defendant additionally notes that he has not slept well, has a lot going on, and would
simply prefer not to do this right now.
II. ARGUMENT
A. Ridgeway Courts Favor Continuances Where "Good Cause" Exists
Defendant submits that "I have a thing" constitutes good cause under a sufficiently generous
reading of Ridgeway procedural law, a reading which Defendant encourages this Court to adopt,
retroactively if necessary.
B. Prejudice to the Defendant if Continuance Is Denied
Should this Court deny the continuance, Defendant will be forced to choose between attending
his trial and attending the aforementioned event, a choice no free citizen of Ridgeway should
have to make, and one Defendant frankly resents being put in the position of making.
C. No Prejudice to the Prosecution
The prosecution, as far as Defendant is aware, has nothing better to do. The prosecution should
not object.
D. Precedent
Defendant is unable to cite specific precedent supporting this motion but is confident that
somewhere, at some point, a court has granted a continuance for a similarly vague and
self-serving reason, and respectfully asks this Court to assume that case exists and rule
accordingly.
III. PROPOSED NEW TRIAL DATE
Defendant proposes the trial resume on a date to be determined later, ideally a Tuesday, ideally in
the afternoon, ideally not conflicting with anything else Defendant has going on, a list which the
Court is welcome to request but which Defendant warns is "long and kind of personal."
IV. CONCLUSION
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court GRANT this Motion for a
Continuance, in the interest of justice, fairness, and Defendant's calendar.
Respectfully submitted, with priorities intact,
