In Virginia, when a judge states that a case is "continued," it typically means that the court has decided to postpone the proceedings to a later date. This can occur for various reasons, such as the need for additional time to gather evidence, schedule hearings, or allow for settlement discussions. The new date is usually set by the judge or agreed upon by the parties involved. The continuation does not imply a decision on the merits of the case; it simply delays the process.
What else can I help you with?
Can a judge sentence his own family member?
It is generally frowned upon for a judge to preside over a case involving a family member due to the potential conflict of interest. If such a situation were to arise, the judge would likely need to recuse themselves from the case and have another judge handle it.
How do you change a judge from your case?
Yes, you can request a different judge. You have to have valuable reasoning why you want a new judge and you will also need to have the DA accept the change. This all depends on what state that you live in also.
When was the date vacated by the judge in the case?
The judge vacated the date in the case.
Can a judge rule on a case where the judge was the prosecutor?
Generally, one can either be a judge or a prosecutor. No person is going to hold both of these positions at the same time. Even if it were possible, having someone in both positions is a conflict of interest, and a new judge would be appointed.

How many adjournments are allowed in a civil lawsuit?
I think you mean to say "continuance," instead of "adjourments." A continuance is when a judge cancels and reschedules a trial setting. An adjournment is when a judge takes a break during an ongoing hearing or trial. Either way, the judge has complete discretion in continuing a case for another time. Usually, the first two continuances are more easily granted. But after two continuances, the judge really needs to have a good compelling reason. Additionally, a judge is less likely to grant a continuance as the case gets older. Nevertheless, it is the judge's decision and there is no limit to how many times a case can be continued.
Can a judge overrule another judge in a court case?
Yes, a judge can overrule another judge in a court case if they believe the previous judge made an error in their decision or ruling.

A case that has been sealed means that the case file may not viewed by the public or the media or any other unauthorized person. Cases are generally sealed by statute or by a judge's order, not by court rule.

Yes, a judge can dismiss a civil case if there is not enough evidence or if the case does not have legal merit.
What does it mean when a judge dismisses a case and what are the implications for the parties involved?
When a judge dismisses a case, it means that the case is thrown out and will not proceed to trial. This can happen for various reasons, such as lack of evidence or legal issues. The implications for the parties involved can vary, but generally, it means that the case is over and the parties may need to seek other legal options if they want to pursue their claims.

Not generally. Only time served may count, but only if the judge hearing the case agrees to permit it.
