If  your  request  to  continue/postpone  your  hearing  is  denied,  or  you  are  not  prepared  enough,  you  can ask to withdraw from the hearing “without prejudice.” This means your withdrawal from the fair hearing will not affect your right to appeal the issue later. It is better to withdraw without prejudice than go to the hearing unprepared. OAH says you must  fill out the Notification of Resolution form. Here is the link to the form: https://www.dds.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/DS1804.pdf.
