A motion for continuance must be filed with the Board at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled hearing, or upon a showing of good cause, at any time prior to the hearing. A scheduling conflict on behalf of the Respondent or Respondent's counsel shall be considered good cause, and will be liberally granted, if written proof of the scheduling conflict is submitted to the Board at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled hearing. A second continuance based on scheduling conflicts shall not be granted by the Board. Failure to retain counsel in a timely manner on the part of the Respondent shall not be considered good cause. The Board President shall have the authority to rule on motions for continuance that are filed pursuant to this Rule. The Respondent and the Board counsel will be notified of the ruling on the motion promptly. The ruling of the Board President will be entered into the record at the scheduled hearing date and the rescheduled hearing date will be set if the motion for continuance is granted.
