(a) Any application to the ALJ for an order or ruling shall be by
motion. Motions shall state the relief sought, the authority relied
upon, and the facts alleged, and shall be filed with the ALJ and served
on all other parties.
(b) Except for motions made during a prehearing conference or at the
hearing, all motions shall be in writing. The ALJ may require that oral
motions be reduced to writing.
(c) Within 15 days after a written motion is served, or such other
time as may be fixed by the ALJ, any party may file a response to such
motion.
(d) The ALJ may not grant a written motion before the time for
filing responses thereto has expired, except upon consent of the parties
or following a hearing on the motion, but may overrule or deny such
motion without awaiting a response.
(e) The ALJ shall make a reasonable effort to dispose of all
outstanding motions prior to the beginning of the hearing.
