R657-2-14. Continuance

(1) Any party may, by filing a motion, request the presiding officer to continue an adjudicative proceeding, provided the motion is filed within a reasonable time prior to the date of the hearing and proper notice is given to the other parties to the proceeding. The presiding officer may grant such a request and continue the proceeding until the next regularly scheduled meeting, or another more convenient time, unless in the presiding officer's judgement, it would be contrary to the just and fair resolution of the proceeding.

(2) The Wildlife Board, on its own motion, or on the motion of the division, may order the continuance of any proceeding until the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Wildlife Board in order to allow adequate time for division staff to evaluate any evidence presented during a hearing.
