Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 340:2-28-11

Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

When an ALJ disqualifies or recuses from a case, the chief ALJ assigns a different ALJ. If the chief ALJ disqualifies or recuses from a case, a different ALJ is assigned by random lot, drawn by a docketing clerk.

(1) Any ALJ may disqualify or recuse on their own motion.

(2) A motion to disqualify an ALJ from a case may be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings: Child Support (OAH), stating the basis for the request. The ALJ may recuse on their own motion; grant the motion without setting for hearing; or, in the ALJ's discretion, determine the motion after a hearing.

(A) When a motion to disqualify is denied, the Chief ALJ will reconsider the motion, upon the filing of a request for review. The request for review will be determined after hearing and when the Chief ALJ disqualifies the subject ALJ, the Chief ALJ assigns a different ALJ.

(B) When the subject of a motion to disqualify is the Chief ALJ, the request for review will be decided by a different ALJ assigned by random lot, drawn by a docketing clerk. The request for review will be determined after hearing and when the reviewing ALJ disqualifies the Chief ALJ, the reviewing judge will assign a different ALJ by random lot, not to include the reviewing ALJ.

(3) No further review is available within OAH or the agency.
