They would not even process my application. I wanted to loose my money and they wouldn't take it. They will keep their good rating for approvals if they won't process the application. I feel that self defense is good and substantial so they should process the application.
Feel free to check the attachment. It pissed me off for sure.
Now I just re-read the letter. Funny how state is choosing to make-up law as they go. "You have two options"...
I see it differently. You have more than two options. You can call them on it, send back in Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, along with a short letter saying simply; "In accordance with my rights, and the state requirement to grant or deny the application in accordance with COMAR xxx, please continue to process my application as originally received on XXX Date".
esqappellate said:Or you can treat it as a denial and take it directly to the Board. When and if they do this to my application, that I what I plan to do. And I'll request a hearing and cross examine witnesses.
Recorded hearing of course
Or you can treat it as a denial and take it directly to the Board. When and if they do this to my application, that is I what I plan to do. And I'll request a hearing and cross examine witnesses.
So the board clearly can just rubber-stamp the decision of MSP, without any right of the applicant or counsel to present a case before the board. Further, they get to take up to 90 days to choose between their (2) favorite rubber stamps:
1) "DENIED"
2) "Not Approved"
But, since they then have to give their reasoning in writing, one can then engage counsel to sue the state for violation of rights and I would have thought attorney fees and damages.
Imagine if we *all* requested hearings?

Where did they get the quote "insufficiently tailored....."
Was that a direct quote from the Judge or was that an interpretation of the Judge's rationale for the decision?
MSP should have said Judge Legg "found G/S unconstitutional"...no?
That is their application of g&s.

And the hits just keep on comingI'll be curious to see how many others, upon returning home from work today, have a letter waiting for them in today's mail.
