Sec. 904.211  Failure to appear.

    (a) If a party fails to appear after proper service of notice, the 
hearing may proceed. A notation of failure to appear will be made in the 
record, and the hearing may be conducted with the parties then present, 
or may be terminated if the Judge determines that proceeding with the 
hearing will not aid the decisional process.
    (b) The Judge will place in the record all the facts concerning the 
issuance and service of the notice of time and place of hearing.
    (c) The Judge may deem a failure of a party to appear after proper 
notice a waiver of any right to a hearing and consent to the making of a 
decision on the record.
