Syllabus

Motion for continuance; due process; abuse of discretion. Judgment affirmed. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in denying Father's motion for continuance or violate his right to due process. The record before us does not suggest that Father exhibited cooperation or communicated with counsel and the juvenile court and fails to demonstrate good cause for a continuance. Moreover, after weighing the potential prejudice to Father against the juvenile court's right to control its docket and the public's interest in the prompt and efficient dispatch of justice, we cannot say that the juvenile court acted unreasonably, arbitrarily, or unconscionably in denying Father's motion.
