Every motion for a continuance based upon absence of a material witness must be accompanied
by the affidavit of the moving party or attorney, setting forth the efforts made to procure
attendance and the facts expected to be proved by the witness. If the opposite party admits that
the witness, if called, would testify as set forth in the affidavit, the court may, in its discretion,
deny the motion. [Amended February 1, 2011]
