Section 200.1015  Postponement or Continuance of Hearing

A hearing may be postponed or continued for due cause by the hearing officer upon his or her own motion or upon the motion of a party to the hearing.  A motion filed by a party to the hearing shall set forth facts attesting that the request for continuance is not for the purpose of delay.  Except in the case of an emergency, motions requesting postponement or continuance shall be made in writing and shall be received by all parties to the hearing at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled hearing date.  All parties involved in a hearing shall avoid undue delay caused by repetitive postponements or continuances so that the subject matter of the hearing may be resolved expeditiously.
