N.D. R. Jud. Conduct Comm. 13
Failure to Answer/failure to Appear
A. Failure to Answer. Unless excused for incapacity, failure to answer the formal charges constitutes an admission of the factual allegations.
B. Failure to Appear. If the respondent fails to appear when specifically so ordered by the hearing panel or the Supreme Court, the respondent may be deemed to have admitted the factual allegations which were to be the subject of the appearance and to have conceded the merits of any motion or recommendations to be considered at the appearance. Absent good cause, the hearing panel or Supreme Court shall not continue or delay proceedings because of the respondent's failure to appear.
