1400.5700 NOTICE OF APPEARANCE.

Each party intending to appear at a contested case hearing shall file with the judge and serve upon all other known parties a notice of appearance which shall advise the judge of the party's intent to appear and shall indicate the title of the case, the agency ordering the hearing, the party's current address and telephone number, and the name, office address, and telephone number of the party's attorney or other representative. The notice of appearance shall be filed and served within 20 days of the date of service of the notice of and order for hearing, except that, where the hearing or prehearing conference date is less than 20 days from the commencement of the contested case, the notice of appearance shall be filed as soon as possible. The failure to file and serve a notice may, in the discretion of the judge, result in a continuance of the hearing if the party failing to file appears at the hearing. A notice of appearance form shall be included with the notice of and order for hearing for use by the party served. After an attorney has filed a notice of appearance, withdrawal is effective only if a notice of withdrawal is promptly served on all parties and filed with the judge. The notice of withdrawal must include the address and telephone number of the party. Withdrawal of counsel does not create any right to a continuance.
