E.D. La. LCrR 17
Absence of Material Witness
Every motion for a continuance based upon absence of a material witness must be
accompanied by the affidavit of the moving party or attorney, setting forth the efforts made to
procure attendance and the facts expected to be proved by the witness. If the opposite party
admits that the witness, if called, would testify as set forth in the affidavit, the court may, in its
discretion, deny the motion. The court may dispense with a statement of the facts to be proved. If
the proposed testimony is not set forth, or in any other case, the court may hold a hearing on the
matter and take such action with respect to the motion as justice requires.
