The assigned administrative law judge may continue the date of the case management conference. At this case management conference, parties shall be expected to address the following issues:

(2) Any facts or issues that are undisputed and may be subject to stipulation.

(3) Whether the case is expected to present any novel or complex legal issues.

(4) Any anticipated motions before hearing that may narrow the issues in the case or that may eliminate any claims or defenses.

(6) The parties' availability for hearing.

(b) The parties shall meet and confer regarding the matters to be addressed at the case management conference and shall file, jointly or separately, a case management conference statement no later than five days before the scheduled date of the conference. The assigned administrative law judge may take the case management conference off calendar if the administrative law judge finds the parties' case management conference statement or statements sufficiently address the matters to be addressed at the conference. The administrative law judge shall issue an order summarizing the results of the case management conference as soon as practicable after the conference is held or, if taken off calendar, was scheduled to be held.
