If you have two very similar cases that are decided differently, couldn't that be a violation of the COTUS 14th amendment?
So, quick question. In some circumstances ALJ decisions are merely recommendations and the final decision is still made by the agency. But that usually takes an express statutory provision, which is absent here. So, do I assume correctly that ALJ decisions will be binding on the parties (albeit non-precedential)?
If the HPRB and ALJ decisions fail to take into account previous decisions, it would seem that the whole concept of law becomes farcical. How can the same facts in similar cases be adjudicated differently?

It looks shabby somehow, and certainly calls the concept of fairness into question.
Oh, wait . . . Maryland.
Is it true that MSP rarely if ever appeals HPRB decisions on restrictions ?

This is what I was told by an MSP official at one of the HPRB meetings.

AFAIK, the MSP has never appealed a restrictions case to *court.* We shall see if that still holds after HB819 takes effect on Oct. 1, with respect to de novo appeals to the OAH.
FWIW, I was told by one of the MSP "higher-ups" who can occasionally be found at the back of the meeting room that there was one appeal. At the time of the conversation, he indicated that the case occurred "about 19 months ago". That conv took place sometime last year. He didn't reveal the outcome.
It is fair in Louisiana.

It's interesting that in her last self-congratulatory email, Del. Geraldine did not mention this at all. Could it be that she's aware of her vote to nullify the only Civilian review of the MSP Licensing scheme?

I will be very surprised if the MSP wants to take the time to appeal HGRB decisions unless there is a really good reason.
