Is there good cause for a continuance under section 1050 of the California Probation Act?

The prosecutor argued that no good cause need be shown to obtain a continuance during the 45-day speedy trial period. She conceded that the officer's vacation was not good cause for a continuance under section 1050. Relying on People v. Flores (1979) 90 Cal.App.3d Supp. 1, 152 Cal.Rptr. 896, she argued that in effect the People had a right [110 Cal.App.3d 933] to a continuance so long as the 45 days had not expired. Defense counsel argued that the failure of the People to serve the officer prior to her leaving on vacation showed a lack of good cause and that he had called the prosecutor the preceding week to determine if the case would be going to trial on the scheduled date.
