I don’t know how this works. But with the COVID-19 situation, I imagine the lawyer tasked with this has not had anything else to do. No excuse to be late. And I would sort of hope that the court told them that this was the expectation right up front. June 1 is June 1. Don’t miss the date.
But we shall see.

It sure will be denied. If the Dumb ass Sullivan didn’t know ON WHAT LEGAL BASIS he decided to do what he did WHEN HE DID IT, he doesn’t deserve more time to try to MAKE UP A LEGAL BASIS.
I hope not.
He must know that any delays violate Lt. General Flynn's sixth amendment rights to a speedy trial, whose case has been going on for several years now.
Delaying yet again for this judge's personal predicament would be more cruel and unusual punishment for Flynn.
If Sullivan were to insist on a continuance, I'd hope that would be grounds to remove him from the case while his own proceeds, so that Flynn can move onto closure with his own case.

We can hope he will be held in contempt of court and maybe even put in jail so he has time to devote to responding to the court.
