10.65—Supplemental charges.
(a) In general.
The Director of
the Office of Professional Responsibility may file
supplemental charges, by amending the complaint
with the permission of the Administrative Law
Judge, against the respondent, if, for
example—
(1)
It appears that the respondent, in the
answer, falsely and in bad faith, denies a
material allegation of fact in the complaint or
states that the respondent has insufficient
knowledge to form a belief, when the respondent
possesses such information; or
(2)
It appears that the respondent has
knowingly introduced false testimony during the
proceedings against the respondent.
(b) Hearing.
The supplemental
charges may be heard with other charges in the
case, provided the respondent is given due notice
of the charges and is afforded a reasonable
opportunity to prepare a defense to the
supplemental charges.
