What is a good statement to say when your trying to make a continuance for a court date.?

I am trying to fill out a continuance paper for court so that the court can set the court date to another day. I dont know what to say on the paper so that the judge can grant it. Help me. By the way this is for my license being suspended and unpaid tickets.|||TO THE HONORABLE COURT:





Defendant [Your name] respectfully requests this Court continue the hearing on [date] regarding [nature of hearing].





Good cause exists for this brief continuance in that [state reason, e.g., job, dog ate homework, having appendix removed].





Respectfully submitted,


[your name]


Defendant in pro per|||give a compelling reason





EXAMPLE:





"I respectfully request leave of court to grant me a continuance of my hearing scheduled for _______ so that I can have additional time to obtain copies of _______ and research ________."
