What are the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Motion for Continuance?

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not explicitly define a "Motion for Continuance," but such motions are typically filed to request a delay in court proceedings. A party may seek a continuance for various reasons, including the need for additional time to prepare, scheduling conflicts, or unforeseen circumstances. The motion must generally demonstrate good cause, and the court has discretion to grant or deny it based on the merits of the request and the interests of justice.
