The referee may continue any hearing upon the referee's own motion or upon written application of any party to the appeal submitted to the referee no later than 1:00 p.m. on the business day before the hearing. If a party believes that the party needs additional time beyond what is scheduled for the hearing, the party shall notify the referee of the need for allocating additional time for the hearing no later than 1:00 p.m. on the business day before the hearing. The referee shall exercise discretion whether to grant a party's request for a longer hearing than originally scheduled.

(b) Notice of continuance. The referee shall cause notices to be mailed to the last known address of all interested parties to the appeal wherever there is a continuance.

(c) Withdrawal of appeal. An appellant, with the consent of the referee, may withdraw an appeal in writing or under oath at the hearing.
