Continuances

We review a district court's decision to grant or deny a motion for a continuance for abuse of discretion.  In re Marriage of Eslick, 2013 MT 53, ¶ 10, 369 Mont. 187, 304 P.3d 372 (citations omitted).  Any motion for a continuance is within the sound discretion of the district court, and we will not overrule a district court's decision to deny a request for a continuance unless there is an affirmative showing that he or she has suffered prejudice.  Eslick, ¶ 10 (citations omitted).
