What defines "good cause" and a reasonable period of time?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Gordon, C056183, No. 04F06813 (Cal. App. 2010):
The statutes do not define "good cause" or "reasonable period of time." Both determinations are left to the trial court's exercise of discretion. We review the trial court's decision for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Jenkins (2000) 22 Cal.4th 900, 1037.)
