The request for continuance must explain in writing the grounds for the request and, to the extent the requesting party has been able to ascertain, the other parties' positions regarding the request. The request shall be granted only if the requesting party demonstrates good cause for the continuance that outweighs any prejudice to other parties.
(b) Request Filed Fewer Than Seven Days Prior to the Hearing. A request for continuance filed fewer than seven days prior to the hearing may only be considered if it demonstrates extraordinary circumstances. Prior to filing such a request, the requesting party must attempt to contact representatives from all other parties to ascertain their positions on the request. The request must be in writing or, if made orally, explain why it cannot be reduced to writing. It must explain the grounds for the request, any reasons the request was not made earlier, and, to the extent the requesting party has been able to ascertain, the other parties' positions regarding the request. The request shall be granted only if the requesting party demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying the continuance that outweigh any prejudice to other parties.
