Section R305-7-114 - Prosecution of Actions; Dismissal for Failure to Prosecute

(1) The party seeking relief is responsible for prosecuting administrative proceedings under this Rule.

(2) Unless the parties otherwise agree, if no request for appointment of an ALJ under R305-7-206(2) has been filed within three months after the filing date of a Request for Agency Action or Petition for Review, the Executive Director, a party, or a putative party to the adjudicative proceeding (e.g., the permittee or licensee) may serve a written notification to the parties stating that, absent a showing of good cause by a date specified in the notification, the Executive Director shall dismiss the adjudication for lack of prosecution. A Director may also file a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute under this subsection to the Executive Director. In either case, unless good cause is demonstrated, the Executive Director shall dismiss such Request for Agency Action or Petition for Review.

(3) In any adjudicative proceeding in any matter governed by this Rule where an ALJ has been appointed, the Director or other party or putative party to the adjudicative proceeding (e.g., the permittee or licensee) may file a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute. Unless, after notice, the party seeking relief shows good cause for delay, the ALJ shall enter an order recommending that the Executive Director dismiss the proceeding for lack of prosecution.
