The Hearing Officer may require or permit any party to file a Charging Document (which may be a Notice of Opportunity for Hearing and Proposed Order or some other document) or an Answer to a Charging Document. In the event any such pleading is required by the Hearing Officer, any party may amend such a pleading without leave of the Hearing Officer until the tenth (10th) day prior to the date set for hearing on the matter, or until the entry of a prehearing order, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, a party may amend his, her, or its pleadings only by written consent of the adverse party or by leave of the Hearing Officer for good cause shown. If an amendment is made to any pleading to which a response or reply is required, a response or reply to such amendment shall be filed within seven (7) days after service of the amendment, unless otherwise ordered by the Hearing Officer.
