Continuances

A party seeking a continuance shall first contact the other parties for the purpose of obtaining a stipulated agreement. If the party seeking the continuance is unable to secure a stipulated agreement then that party shall submit a written request for continuance to the hearing officer, with copies served upon the parties of record. These requirements may be waived by the hearing officer if circumstances arise to make compliance unreasonable. The hearing officer may not approve a continuance except for good cause shown. The hearing officer may order a continuance upon the hearing officer's own motion.
