Sec. 10.143  Motions.

    Motions may be filed with the administrative law judge. The 
administrative law judge will determine on a case-by-case basis the time 
period for response to a motion and whether replies to responses will be 
authorized. No motion shall be filed with the administrative law judge 
unless such motion is supported by a written statement by the moving 
party that the moving party or attorney for the moving party has 
conferred with the opposing party or attorney for the opposing party in 
an effort in good faith to resolve by agreement the issues raised by the 
motion and has been unable to reach agreement. If issues raised by a 
motion are resolved by the parties prior to a decision on the motion by 
the administrative law judge, the parties shall promptly notify the 
administrative law judge.
