to attend, and whether the DOT attorney (name the attorney) is or is not opposed to your request. Absent agreement of all parties, a continuance will only be granted for good cause. The judge will either grant or deny your motion. If the motion is granted, you will be notified in writing of the new date and time for the hearing. Unless you receive notification that the hearing is continued, you should plan to attend the hearing as scheduled. If the judge has not granted the continuance and you fail to appear at the scheduled time, your appeal may be dismissed and the suspension/revocation reinstated.

3. The hearing is a trial in a court of law. As such, this proceeding should be taken seriously. There may be more than one hearing scheduled for the same date and time therefore you should arrange to be away from home or work accordingly. It is strongly suggested that small children not be brought to the courtroom.
4. Normally DOT will have the burden of proceeding first with its evidence. There will be an attorney representing DOT who is familiar with the law and procedure. After DOT presents its evidence you will be given the opportunity to present your evidence. Even if you file the appeal without an attorney you may have an attorney represent you at the hearing. You should come to the hearing prepared with all the relevant paperwork and witnesses that you may need to call on your behalf.
