Iowa Ct. R. 13.5
Hearings — continuance
At the request of the respondent or respondent’s attorney,
the hearing provided in Iowa Code section 125.82 may be continued beyond the statutory limit so
that the respondent’s attorney has adequate time to prepare respondent’s case. In such instances
custody pursuant to Iowa Code section 125.81 may be extended by court order until the hearing is
held. The continuance shall be no longer than five days beyond the statutory limit. The granting
of a continuance shall not prevent the facility from making application to the court for an earlier
release of the respondent from custody.
