Sec. 385.216  Withdrawal of pleadings (Rule 216).

    (a) Filing. Any participant, or any person who has filed a timely 
motion to intervene which has not been denied, may seek to withdraw a 
pleading by filing a notice of withdrawal.
    (b) Action on withdrawals. (1) The withdrawal of any pleading is 
effective at the end of 15 days from the date of filing of a notice of 
withdrawal, if no motion in opposition to the notice of withdrawal is 
filed within that period and the decisional authority does not issue an 
order disallowing the withdrawal within that period. The decisional 
authority may disallow, for a good cause, all or part of a withdrawal.
    (2) If a motion in opposition to a notice of withdrawal is filed 
within the 15 day period, the withdrawal is not effective until the 
decisional authority issues an order accepting the withdrawal.
    (c) Conditional withdrawal. In order to prevent prejudice to other 
participants, a decisional authority may, on motion or otherwise, 
condition the withdrawal of any pleading upon a requirement that the 
withdrawing party leave material in the record or otherwise make 
material available to other participants.
