LAC 46:XXXIII.917. Disposition of Prehearing Motions

A. Any prehearing motion for continuance of hearing shall be referred for decision to the chairman for ruling. The chairman, in his discretion, may refer any prehearing motion to the entire hearing panel for disposition, and any party aggrieved by the decision on a prehearing motion may request judicial review by the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans. B. Prehearing motions shall ordinarily be ruled upon by the chairman or the hearing panel, as the case may be, on the papers filed, without hearing. On the written request of respondent or of complaint counsel, however, and on demonstration that there are good grounds therefor, the chairman may grant opportunity for hearing, by oral argument, on any prehearing motion.
