Why do you think the date should be pushed back? You don't get to pick and choose your court date - or criminals would simply push it back indefinitely. You need a reason - so what is the reason?

When is the court date - and when as it originally assigned?

What is he charged with? And what have you tried with respect to getting a public defender?

you can request a continuance. the DA's office can agree to it, or you would have to appear and request time to find counsel.

Yes, but until OP answers the questions, we don't have any idea how plausible that is. IF s/he has had 2 months to request counsel and hasn't done a darned thing, the court may not grant the continuance.
