HEARING OFFICER ORDER
On November 29, 2005, petitioner’s attorney faxed a motion for a second continuance of
the hearing set for December 1, 2005 on the grounds that respondent still had not filed the
administrative record. Respondent did not object to continuing the hearing, but stated that
petitioner had everything in the record except for several letters respondent had sent to petitioner
of which petitioner should be aware.
The hearing officer was unable to reach the petitioner’s attorney on November 30, 2005
to discuss the continuance. The hearing officer was finally able to reach both parties at
10:00a.m. on December 1, 2005, thirty minutes before the hearing was set to begin. At that time,
petitioner’s representatives from USI decided that they now wanted the hearing moved to
Washington County. The hearing officer denied the request on the grounds that notice was too
short, and petitioner was not willing to waive the deadline for a sufficient amount of time to
make the hearing officer comfortable with the request. Additionally, the request to cancel the
hearing did not meet the requirements of Section 101.510 of the Board’s procedural rules (35 Ill.
Adm. Code 101.510).
On December 1, 2005, the hearing was continued to January 20, 2006 in Springfield.
Petitioner faxed an additional waiver to May 17, 2006 which would require the Board to decide
this matter at its meeting on May 4, 2006.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
