     631.02 Allowing continuances for sufficient cause. 

    A continuance may be granted by the court when a case is 
 called for trial, or at any time during pretrial proceedings, 
 upon motion of either the prosecution or defense.  The moving 
 party must show sufficient cause for the continuance.  
 Affidavits in support of the motion for continuance must be 
 filed with the court administrator.  When a defendant who has 
 given bail appears for trial, the court may at any time after 
 the appearance order the defendant committed to the custody of 
 the proper officer of the county, pending judgment or further 
 order of the court.
