Sec. 3.21  Pre-hearing conferences and statement.

    (a) Pre-hearing conferences may be scheduled at the discretion of 
the Immigration Judge. The conference may be held to narrow issues, to 
obtain stipulations between the parties, to exchange information 
voluntarily, and otherwise to simplify and organize the proceeding.
    (b) The Immigration Judge may order any party to file a pre-hearing 
statement of position that may include, but is not limited to: A 
statement of facts to which both parties have stipulated, together with 
a statement that the parties have communicated in good faith to 
stipulate to the fullest extent possible; a list of proposed witnesses 
and what they will establish; a list of exhibits, copies of exhibits to 
be introduced, and a statement of the reason for their introduction; the 
estimated time required to present the case; and, a statement of 
unresolved issues involved in the proceedings.
    (c) If submission of a pre-hearing statement is ordered under 
paragraph (b) of this section, an Immigration Judge also may require 
both parties, in writing prior to the hearing, to make any evidentiary 
objections regarding matters contained in the pre-hearing statement. If 
objections in writing are required but not received by the date for 
receipt set by the Immigration Judge, admission of all evidence 
described in the pre-hearing statement shall be deemed unopposed.
