Defendants Request For Postponement Of Traffic Court Trial {RI-TR001}

RI-TR001 - DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR POSTPONEMENT OF TRAFFIC COURT TRIAL. This form must be filed at least 10 COURT DAYS prior to the court trial hearing date. If this request is not filed timely, it may be denied. If you have provided the court with an email address, you will be notified of the court’s decision via email. Court trials are set at specific times, and on specific days of the week, depending on several factors. Although the court will consider your request for a preferred date, that date may not be available, and the trial may have to be postponed to a date you have indicated you are unavailable. Please be advised that pursuant to section 1382 of the California Penal Code, you have a right to a speedy trial; meaning that your trial must begin within forty-five (45) days after your arraignment. If your trial does not begin within that time period, and good cause for the delay is not shown to the court, then the court must order your case dismissed. If you are requesting a trial date beyond the forty-five (45) day limit, you will be giving up your right to a speedy trial. If you do not want to give up this right, do not initial this waiver. Your request for postponement may be denied due to time restraints within the forty-five (45) day period if you do not agree to give up your right to a speedy trial. www.FormsWorkflow.com
