Can I get my court date discontinued for resisting arrest?

First off, hello from a fellow rider. I'm not sure what you mean by asking if your case can be discontinued - whether you mean dismissed or continued. The case may or may not be dismissed depending on the situation. It would be wise to contact an attorney and discuss the situation in order to come up with a plan for handling the case. As far as having the case continued, courts vary drastically when it comes to continuances. Some will grant them if you call and ask and others require an appearance before they will continue the case. I would suggest contacting the clerk of the court in order to find out what their policy is.

You can call the court and ask for continuance of your court date. The court clerk might grant a continuance over the phone, but more likely, she will require you to go to court and ask the judge for a continuance. Or you can hire an attorney to represent you and you won't have to appear in court. Your attorney can probably get the "resisting arrest" charge dismissed or amended to a lesser offense such as "Littering."
