California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Madrigal, 2d Crim. No. B254702 (Cal. App. 2015):
The party challenging a ruling regarding a continuance request bears the burden of establishing an abuse of discretion. (People v. Hajek and Vo, supra, 58 Cal.4th at p. 1181.) An abuse of discretion is established only if the court's decision is arbitrary or unreasonable. (Id. at pp. 1180-1181.)
