service one time only. When requested, postponements shall be

granted, provided that:

1. The juror has not previously been granted a postponement;

2. The prospective juror appears in person or contacts the

clerk of the court by telephone, electronic mail, or in writing to

request a postponement; and

3. Prior to the grant of a postponement with the concurrence of

the clerk of the court, the prospective juror fixes a date certain

on which he or she will appear for jury service that is not more

than six (6) months after the date on which the prospective juror

originally was called to serve and on which date the court will be

in session unless the prospective juror is permanently excused.

B. A subsequent request to postpone jury service may be

approved by a judicial officer only in the event of an extreme

emergency, such as a death in the family, sudden grave illness, or a

natural disaster or a national emergency in which the prospective

juror is personally involved, that could not have been anticipated

at the time the initial postponement was granted. Prior to the

grant of a second postponement, the prospective juror must fix a

date certain on which the individual will appear for jury service

within six (6) months of the postponement on a date when the court

will be in session.
