Rule 111:2-6-05 | Time.
(A) Extension of time; continuance.
(1) Before a continuance is granted by the commission, the party seeking the continuance shall request the consent of the other party for such continuance. If the parties mutually agree on the continuance, the parties shall submit a joint motion for continuance, in writing, which will be considered by the commission. If there is no agreement of the parties, the requesting party shall specify the efforts by parties to meet and confer in good faith, to reach resolution, which shall at minimum include a telephonic conversation, and be made in writing to the commission and which shall be considered by the commission.
(2) No extension of time or continuance will be granted unless timely submitted, in writing, and approved by the administrator to the commission, the hearing officer, or the chairperson of the commission. The commission may grant extensions of time in a manner consistent with the provisions of section 3517.17 of the Revised Code. Parties appearing before the commission will not be summarily granted any continuance without good cause. At such time as a continuance is granted, the date to which the continuance will be made will be determined and notice will be sent to all parties pursuant to rule 111:2-6-03 of the Administrative Code.
(B) Hearing, motions, subsequent filings.
