No. A PRE-trial hearing implies that the case has not yet been presented to court for trial. Therefore there is nothing on which a "motion" may be made. You may "request" a postponement of the hearing (providing you can present good cause for the request) but there are laws granting "speedy trial," and it may not be granted.
