SECTION 735:80-13-18. Submission of case on briefs

  When a protestant in an administrative proceeding does not request an oral hearing, or the parties agree that an oral hearing is not needed, the hearing examiner will base the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations on the position letters and briefs submitted by the parties. The hearing examiner will mail notice of a date certain for each party to submit a position letter or brief setting out therein the statement of facts, issues to be determined, contentions and statutory and case law relied upon to support his contentions. The hearing examiner may schedule a conference between the parties if it is deemed necessary to clarify the positions of the parties.
