Cases sometimes fall through the cracks and in all 3 offices I've been in most ALJ's would ask that the case be reassigned if he/she finds it out soon enough for that. Unfortunately, we often don't find out in time since we review our cases so soon before hearing now. Unless I'm going to pay the subsequent app [which I sometimes do], I generally offer the claimant a postponement and recusal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-16115608110388965512013-05-13T10:51:30.951-04:002013-05-13T10:51:30.951-04:00Interesting I suppose.
