In Term. of Parent-Child Rel. of D.L. and K.L.; and H.L.I. v. Vanderburgh Co. Dept. of Child Services (NFP), an 8-page opinion, Judge Crone writes:

On appeal, H.L.I. contends that the juvenile court erred in terminating her parental rights. H.L.I. does not challenge any of the court‟s findings or conclusions. Rather, she asserts that the court‟s refusal to grant her yet another continuance violated her due process rights and constitutes reversible error. We disagree.
[T]he ruling on a non-statutory motion for a continuance is within the sound discretion of the trial court. Discretion is a privilege afforded a trial court to act in accord with what is fair and equitable in each circumstance. A decision on a motion for continuance will be reversed only upon a showing of an abuse of discretion and prejudice resulting from such an abuse.
J.M. v. Marion County Office of Family & Children, 802 N.E.2d 40, 43 (Ind. Ct. App. 2004) (citations omitted), trans. denied.
