ruling not otherwise provided for in this part shall be by motion. Prior 
to the assignment of the proceeding to a law judge, all motions shall be 
addressed to the Case Manager. Thereafter, and prior to the expiration 
of the period within which an appeal from the law judge's initial 
decision may be filed, all motions shall be addressed to the law judge. 
At all other times, motions shall be addressed to the General Counsel.
    (b) Form and content. Unless made during a hearing, motions shall be 
made in writing, shall state with particularity the grounds for the 
relief requested, and shall be accompanied by affidavits or other 
evidence relied upon. Motions introduced during a hearing may be made 
orally on the record, unless the law judge directs otherwise.
    (c) Replies to motions. Except when a motion is made during a 
hearing, any party may file a reply, accompanied by such affidavits or 
other evidence as that party desires to rely upon, within 15 days after 
the date of service of the motion on that party. Upon notice to the 
parties, the law judge or the Board may, where appropriate, set a 
shorter time for filing a reply. Where a motion is made during a 
hearing, the reply may be made at the hearing, or orally or in writing 
within such time as the law judge may fix.
    (d) Oral argument; briefs. No oral argument will be heard on a 
motion unless the law judge or the Board directs otherwise.
    (e) Effect of pendency of motions. Except as provided in Sec.Sec. 
821.17(a) and 821.18(a), the filing or pendency of a motion shall not 
automatically alter or extend the time fixed in this part (or any 
extension thereof previously granted) for the parties to take any 
actions.
