The following excerpt is from Laborers Clean-Up Contract Admin. Trust Fund v. Uriarte Clean-Up Service, Inc., 736 F.2d 516 (9th Cir. 1984):
The day before trial was scheduled to begin counsel for defendants sought a continuance because of his involvement in another trial. The court granted the continuance but only until March 2, 1983, three days after defense counsel's other trial concluded. We review the district court's refusal to grant a longer continuance only for abuse of discretion. Ruiz v. Hamburg-American Line, 478 F.2d 29, 31-32 (9th Cir.1973).
