Oral notice of intent to appeal shall be given by the prisoner at the conclusion of the hearing and shall be followed by a written basis for the appeal within 24 hours after receipt of the written decision. Sanctions ordered by the hearing officer may be held in abeyance until the appeal is resolved.
(2) Within 30 calendar days after receipt of the determination, the prisoner or warden may appeal, to the hearings administrator, the determination made at a hearing conducted pursuant to R 791.11903. The hearings administrator may order a rehearing on his or her own motion at any time.
(3) A prisoner may appeal a determination made in any other administrative hearing by filing a grievance.
(4) Appeals shall be reviewed on the basis of the written summary or record of the hearing, any documentary evidence presented at the hearing, and the written reason for appeal. The reviewing official may affirm or reverse a finding of guilt or may vacate the finding and remand for a new hearing.
