M.D. Ga. L.R. 6.1
Generally
A continuance of any trial, pretrial conference, or other hearing will be granted only by the court on its own
motion or on motion of any party. Continuances may not be obtained by stipulation between counsel. Any
extensions of time within which to answer the complaint or an amended complaint by affirmative defenses or
other defensive pleadings may be done by written, filed stipulations of counsel, not to exceed more than thirty
(30) days from the original answer deadline without approval of the court. Only one such stipulation may be
filed per complaint or amended complaint. If a party is unable to obtain a stipulation or if more than thirty (30)
days is needed, the party should seek an extension by motion to the court pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure.
