A "continuation was filed" is a phrase of legal art. In traffic court, a continuance motion is rarely written or filed and usually only by the defense attorney, if at all. Even when witnesses call the court and ask for a continuance it is generally not in writing. That said, sometimes a witness will write a letter requesting a continuance and the judge, at his discretion, could grant the continuance. You would have to look at the court file. It's public record so yes you would be entitled to see everything in your court file.
