Rule 30.09 - CONTINUANCES(a) As provided by law, a party may move for a continuance as provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure (725 ILCS 5/114-4) and applicable Supreme Court Rules.(b)Addition or Substitution of Attorneys. A trial continuance shall not be granted solely upon the ground of substitution or addition of attorneys, except by good cause shown by motion and affidavit.(c) In a case in the Traffic Division where there are witnesses, the Court shall inquire when the case is called whether the witnesses are present. If a defendant fails to appear in court, the witnesses may be excused by the Court. If the defendant appears in court after the witnesses have been excused, the case shall be continued to another date. The judge also shall order sanctions against the defendant where it appears that the defendant's conduct was contumacious or designed to frustrate the legitimate ends of justice. Sanctions may include but are not limited to the revocation of the defendant's bond and ordering defendant held in custody until the next trial date.Ill. R. Cir. Ct. Dupage Cnty. 30.09
