What to do if I applied for deferred action and according to USCIS my case is still in the initial review process, however I recently got pulled over and was charged with an OUI and unlicensed operation?

I am taking this case to trial and I was told that I have a good chance of winning. Hoever, I wanted to know how this case will affect my ability to get deferred action? What will happen if I decide to go with a continuance without a finding or must I win the case for me to still have a chance to get deferred action?
