Rule 6: Continuances
W continuance shall be granted, Includmg a stiplated continuance, except for good cause. A motion or stipUlation for
continuance must state the reason therefore and whether or not any continuance has prevIo usly been sought or granted.
I have not sought a contmuance for any other hearing in this matter, and further, I may have had a right to counsel at the
arraignment which was not met. Additionally, the bailiff at the arraignment was threatening, retaliatory, and hostile when I
asked about my right to counsel and t .ideo 1e Judge made of himsel advising liigant 01 their rights was somewhat
frrghtening and coerCIVe In that it baSically said "it is never a good Idea to represent yourselr'. This is unjust, espcially In the
context of this Court's Order denying my right to have counsel appointed where jail time i a possibilit.regardless of how the
court intends to treat the matter, statutonly, on papr, its a possibitity The police shouldn't arrest so many people baselessly,
and shouldn't resort to Wegal, coercive and unjust tactics, espeCially i the tx base does not aHow the court to uphold the
procedural and subtantive protections required by the laws or our land. Cut corners somewhere else.
