Sup. R. 56 is analogous to former C.P. Sup. R. 23 and is the basic continuance rule within Sup. R. 50 through Sup. R. 78.
Sup. R. 56 has been amended to be gender neutral and to require a "proposed" entry as opposed to a "judgment" entry to be submitted to the court with all motions for a continuance.
