Sec. 2200.5  Extension of time.

    Upon motion of a party, for good cause shown, the Commission or 
Judge may enlarge any time prescribed by these rules or prescribed by an 
order. All such motions shall be in writing but, in exigent 
circumstances in a case pending before a Judge, an oral request may be 
made and thereafter shall be followed by a written motion filed with the 
Judge within 3 working days. A request for an extension of time should 
be received in advance of the date on which the pleading or document is 
due to be filed. However, in exigent circumstances, an extension of time 
may be granted even though the request was filed after the designated 
time for filing has expired. In such circumstances, the party requesting 
the extension must show, in writing, the reasons for the party's failure 
to make the request before the time prescribed for the filing had 
expired. The motion may be acted upon before the time for response has 
expired.
