Section 13.21.5.11 - REPRESENTATION AT HEARING, FORMAL ENTRY OF APPEARANCE, SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL, AND WITHDRAWAL FROM REPRESENTATION

A.Representation. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute, only a person made a party or a bona fide majority owner if the party is a business entity, or that person's attorney may represent the person in the surcharge rate proceeding.

B.Entry of appearance. Any attorney wishing to represent a party must file a formal written entry of appearance in the docket of the proceeding. The entry of appearance must list the attorney's mailing address, phone and fax number (if any), and an email address (if any). Any attorney wishing to substitute in for a previous attorney must file a substitution of counsel containing the same information required in the initial entry of appearance.

C.Withdrawal. An attorney who intends to withdraw from representation of a party must do so in accordance with the rules of professional conduct.

(1) Withdrawing counsel must file in the docket a written request to withdraw from representation that indicates when counsel notified the party of the withdrawal, and of the date and time of the scheduled hearing.

(2) The advisory board may deny a request to withdraw from representation only when withdrawal would have a clear, materially adverse effect on the represented party's interests and impede the conduct of a full, fair, and efficient hearing.
