20 CFR 10.824 - How can a party request review by the Director of the administrative law judge's recommended decision?
- Section Number: 10.824
- Section Name: How can a party request review by the Director of the administrative law judge's recommended decision?
(a) Any party adversely affected or aggrieved by the decision of the
administrative law judge may file a petition for discretionary review
with the Director within 30 days after issuance of such decision. The
administrative law judge's decision, however, shall be effective on the
date issued and shall not be stayed except upon order of the Director.
(b) Review by the Director shall not be a matter of right but of the
sound discretion of the Director.
(c) Petitions for discretionary review shall be filed only upon one
or more of the following grounds:
(1) A finding or conclusion of material fact is not supported by
substantial evidence;
(2) A necessary legal conclusion is erroneous;
(3) The decision is contrary to law or to the duly promulgated rules
or decisions of the Director;
(4) A substantial question of law, policy, or discretion is
involved; or
(5) A prejudicial error of procedure was committed.
(d) Each issue shall be separately numbered and plainly and
concisely stated, and shall be supported by detailed citations to the
record when assignments of error are based on the record, and by
statutes, regulations or principal authorities relied upon. Except for
good cause shown, no assignment of error by any party shall rely on any
question of fact or law upon which the administrative law judge had not
been afforded an opportunity to pass.
(e) A statement in opposition to the petition for discretionary
review may be filed, but such filing shall in no way delay action on the
petition.
(f) If a petition is granted, review shall be limited to the
questions raised by the petition.
(g) A petition not granted within 20 days after receipt of the
petition is deemed denied.
(h) The decision of the Director shall be final with respect to the
provider's participation in the program, and shall not be subject to
further review by any court or agency.
