Section 792.10134. Default judgments.

(1) If a party fails to attend or participate in a scheduled proceeding after a properly served notice, the administrative law judge may conduct the proceedings without participation of the absent party. The administrative law judge may issue a default order or other dispositive order which shall state the grounds for the order.

(2) Within 7 days after service of a default order, the party against whom it was entered may file a written motion requesting the order be vacated. If the party demonstrates good cause for failing to attend a hearing or failing to comply with an order, the administrative law judge may reschedule, rehear, or otherwise reconsider the matter as required to serve the interests of justice and the orderly and prompt conduct of proceedings.
