Motions for continuance must be in writing and filed not less than five calendar days prior to the hearing, except for good cause shown. Motions must set forth the specific grounds upon which the moving party seeks continuance, make reference to all similar motions filed in the case, and state whether all parties agree with the continuance. The administrative law judge may not grant a continuance without consultation with all parties except in the event of an emergency after a bona fide effort to reach other parties to the case has been unsuccessful.
