If you missed your court date, you must either:

• Write and file a letter with the Clerk's Office, or
• File a motion.

If you choose to file a motion, you can use your own or use this standard motion template as allowed by MD Rule 2-311.

How to write your letter or motion

• Clearly say what you want the court to do and explain why.
• Include any documents that support your request.
• Be sure to include your current name, address, and phone number so the court can contact you about the decision.
