Sec. 711.22  Nonappearance of applicant.

    (a) Original hearing. If, at the time of the hearing, the applicant 
is absent and no appearance is made on his behalf, the review committee 
shall, after a lapse of such period of time as it may consider proper 
and reasonable, have the name of the absent applicant called in the 
hearing room. If, upon such call, there is no response, and no 
appearance on behalf of such applicant and no continuance has been 
requested by the applicant, the review committee shall thereupon close 
the hearing, as to such applicant, and, without further proceedings in 
the case, make a determination dismissing the application.
    (b) Reopened or remanded hearing. If, at a hearing which is reopened 
pursuant to Sec. 711.25 or remanded by a court, the applicant is absent 
and no appearance is made on his behalf, the review committee shall 
continue the hearing for a reasonable period of time and if the 
applicant does not appear at such continued hearing, the review 
committee shall make a determination.
