1050.1. In any case in which two or more defendants are jointly
charged in the same complaint, indictment, or information, and the
court or magistrate, for good cause shown, continues the arraignment,
preliminary hearing, or trial of one or more defendants, the
continuance shall, upon motion of the prosecuting attorney,
constitute good cause to continue the remaining defendants' cases so
as to maintain joinder. The court or magistrate shall not cause
jointly charged cases to be severed due to the unavailability or
unpreparedness of one or more defendants unless it appears to the
court or magistrate that it will be impossible for all defendants to
be available and prepared within a reasonable period of time.
