Each district office will have a designee of the presiding workers' compensation judge available to assign petitions for stay from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on court days.
(b) A party who walks through a petition to stay an action shall provide notice by fax or e-mail to the opposing party or parties no later than 10:00 a.m. of the immediately preceding court day. This notice shall state with specificity the nature of the relief to be requested by the petition to stay and state the date, time and place that the petition to stay will be presented. A copy of the petition to stay shall be attached to the notice. If notice by fax or e-mail fails, or if an opposing party's fax number or e-mail address are unknown, notice shall be given in the manner best calculated to expeditiously provide the party or parties with notice including notice by phone or by overnight mail or delivery service. First-class mail shall not be utilized for notice of a petition to stay an action.

(1) The notice given, including the date, time, manner and name of the party informed;
(2) The relief sought; and
(3) Whether opposition is expected. In addition, if the petitioner was unable to give timely notice to the opposing party, the declaration under penalty of perjury shall state that the petitioner in good faith attempted to inform the opposing party but was unable to do so, and shall specify the efforts made to inform the opposing party.
(d) Upon the receipt of a proper petition to stay an action, the presiding workers' compensation judge shall, in their discretion, either:
(1) Deny the petition;
(2) Grant a temporary stay and set the petition for a hearing; or
(3) Set the petition for a hearing, without either denying the petition or granting a temporary stay.
