(a) The timing of proceedings as directed by the court at the initial appearance shall not be enlarged except upon a showing of good cause. (b) Stipulations or requests for the continuance of any proceeding shall be in writing, signed by counsel and the defendant, and submitted to the court as soon as practicable but in no event later than 4:00 p.m. on the judicial day immediately preceding the event. The court may waive the signature of the defendant provided counsel certifies he or she has obtained the consent of the defendant to the continuance. Comment: Continuances of any criminal proceeding are not favored, but, if requested, shall be presented to the court under the terms of this rule.
