Section 50765 - Dismissal(a) A dismissal may be issued by the hearing officer if an appellant fails to appear at a formal hearing. A copy of such dismissal shall be mailed to each party together with a statement of the appellant's right to reopen the hearing.(b) The Director may vacate any dismissal if the appellant makes application in writing, within 10 days after personal service or receipt of such dismissal, showing good cause for failure to appear at the hearing. Lack of good cause will be presumed when a continuance of the formal hearing was not promptly requested by the appellant upon discovery of the reasons for his/her inability to appear at the hearing as scheduled. If a dismissal has been vacated by the Director, the hearing officer shall reschedule the hearing. Notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be sent to the parties not less than 30 days prior to the scheduled hearing date. This period may be shortened with the consent of all parties. Any party may waive notice.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 17, § 50765
