    HEARING OFFICER ORDER
     
     
      
    On December 2, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference. The
    complainant made an oral motion to cancel the previously scheduled December 13 and 14, 2004
    hearing. The complainant’s attorney stated that he had a death in the family and that he would
    not be ready to participate in the hearing. The attorney for the complainant filed a written
    motion with affidavit on December 2, 2004, supporting his motion. The respondent objected
    stating that it was ready for hearing and that additional costs would be incurred if the hearing
    were cancelled.
     
    The complainant’s motion is granted where the hearing officer finds sufficient reason to
    cancel the hearing. The hearing set for December 13 and 14, 2004, in the above-captioned
    matter is hereby cancelled.
     
    Alternative hearing dates were discussed which included the week of January 24, 2005,
    and the week of January 31, 2005. Respondent later informed the hearing officer that its expert
    witness was not available the week of January 24, 2005. To that end, a hearing for January 31,
    2005, and February 1, 2005, has been tentatively scheduled. The time and location will be noted
    in the notice of hearing.
     
    The parties are directed to participate in a telephonic status conference with the hearing
    officer on December 20, 2004, at 9:30 a.m. The conference must be initiated by the
    complainant, but each party is nonetheless responsible for its own appearance. At the
    conference, the parties must be prepared to discuss the status of the above-captioned matter and
    their readiness for hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
