(a) A motion for continuance of any hearing shall specifically articulate grounds constituting good cause or shall be by agreement and shall be filed in writing.(b) All motions requiring a ruling must be in writing and must contain a certificate of conference asserting that the movant has conferred with the opposing party representative and has or has not obtained agreement with the motion. If no conference was conducted, the movant shall state the reasons, amounting to good cause, why the conference was not held. All motions requiring a certificate of conference will be denied without the requirement of a response if the moving party fails to confer with the opposing party as required. Any motion for which a conference was not held, when the movant has alleged good cause for not holding a conference, must be responded to within seven days, unless the administrative law judge specifies a shorter time to respond.
