court erroneously denied her request for a trial continuance. We affirm.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Maylette Brown and Kendell Harry’s marriage dissolution action was set for trial

on February 24, 2021. At the trial readiness conference a few weeks beforehand,

Brown’s attorney orally moved to continue the trial, which the family court denied.

About a week before trial, Brown’s attorney filed an ex parte request to continue the trial 1 on the ground that Brown was severely ill and could not participate in the trial. The 2 family court denied the motion.
