- (a) Any party or intervenor may make an oral or written motion that a proceeding, other than a public comment hearing, be delayed or continued to a later date or time.
(b) A motion for a delay or a continuance in a hearing or conference, other than a public comment hearing, shall be granted if the presiding officer determines that a delay or continuance would:
- (1) Likely assist in resolving the case fairly, such as by allowing for the presence of a necessary party or witness who was unavoidably unavailable at the scheduled time; and
- (2) Not be contrary to law.
- (c) If the later date, time, and place to which the hearing or conference under (b) above will be delayed or continued are known at the time of ruling on a motion, that information shall be stated on or in the record.
- (d) If the later date, time, and place to which the hearing or conference under (b) above will be delayed or continued are not known at the time of a ruling on a motion, the presiding officer shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue a written scheduling order stating the date, time, and place of the delayed or continued hearing or conference.
