Rule 21 - Amendments to notices of formal proceedings and responses

A.Amendments. At any time after a notice of formal proceedings is served upon a judge, upon motion of Investigative Trial Counsel or an order to show cause from the Commission, and the opportunity for the judge to respond thereto, the Commission may approve an amended notice of formal proceedings which shall be served upon a judge. At any time after a judge has responded to a notice of formal proceedings, a judge may move to file an amended response. The Commission shall promptly provide the presiding officer with a copy of the amendments.

B.Response to amended notice of formal proceedings. Following service of an amended notice of formal proceedings, unless a shorter time is ordered by a presiding officer, a judge shall respond within the time for response as set forth in the amended notice of formal proceedings.

C.Effect on scheduling order. If the parties agree that an amended notice of formal proceedings or an amended response will have no effect on the scheduling order, then they shall promptly notify the presiding officer. If either party believes that an amended notice of formal proceedings or an amended response will affect the scheduling order, then they shall file a motion to amend the scheduling order.
