Section 20192 - Extensions of Time

(a) Extraordinary circumstances do at times occur which prevent parties or their counsel or representative from complying with the time limits contained in the regulations or orders of the Board for the filing and service of papers. In those situations, parties, or their counsel or representatives, may apply for extensions of time by written motion directed to the executive secretary or assigned administrative law judge, as appropriate in accordance with sections 20240 and 20241, with service on all other parties.

(b) Requests for extensions of time shall be filed or presented in the same manner as motions for continuances, except that, absent good cause shown, they are to be received at least three calendar days before the due date of the papers to be filed. The request shall include the due date, the length of extension sought, and the grounds for the extension, in the same manner as required for continuances in section 20190(c)(2). The request must be accompanied by a declaration stating the position of the other parties. If the other parties' positions were not obtained, the declaration must state in detail all efforts made to attempt to contact that party or the party's counsel, including the dates and times of any emails and telephone calls, and whether a message was left.

(c) Requests for extensions of time will be processed and ruled on by the executive secretary or assigned administrative law judge, as appropriate in accordance with sections 20240 and 20241, based on considerations similar to those described in sections 20190(e), (f), and (g).
