Section 1001.80  Motions

a)         Form of Motions.  All motions shall be made in writing and shall set forth the relief or order sought and shall be filed with the Department at the earliest time to be considered by the hearing officer.  Motions may be hand delivered or sent by regular mail, by courier, or by facsimile transmission, must be sent to the hearing location designated in the notice of hearing, and are considered received on the date that they are file-stamped by Department personnel.  Motions based on matter that does not appear of record shall be supported by affidavit.  Motions may be presented by a party to obtain appropriate relief, such as to dismiss the proceedings, to add necessary parties, or to extend time for compliance of an order.
