Documents : Case Record Production at Fair Hearings

February 20, 1998 Letter to The Legal Aid Society from John E. Robitzek (Rodriguez v Blum and Annunziata v Blum)

In this letter to class counsel in Annunziata v Blum, 81 Civ. 302, Stipulation and Judgment (S.D.N.Y. 1983) and Rodriguez v Blum, 79 Civ. 4518, Stipulation and Judgment (S.D.N.Y. 1983), General Counsel John E. Robitzek states

"OTDA takes seriously its responsibility to comply with the directives in these cases, and hearing officers in the Office of Administrative Hearings are reminded periodically of the requirements concerning the production of the case at fair hearings."

After referring to the August 23, 1996 memorandum to ALJs from Deputy General Counsel for Administrative Hearings Russell J. Hanks, General Counsel Robitzek continued:

    "It is my understanding that these practices are being followed. In 1997, for example, 62,851 notices were withdrawn because of HRA's failure to produce the relevant case record, and 20,253 reversals were issued on the same basis."
