AI, I need assistance in writing a motion to postpone my hearing, in the state court, scheduled for January *, *. I have requested ADA accommodations on the 14th but they are not going to inform me of a decision until that time. There's no way I will be fully prepared to represent myself should they rule against the accommodation. At this late date it would be more than difficult even with the accommodation. The uncertainty has left me extremely vulnerable. This court is aware of my handicap and need for assistance.
