This is case was originally docketed as FAA Docket 2011NM060033, but entered into DMS with two 

separate DMS numbers (FAA-2011-0779 and FAA-2011-0680) on two separate dates. On October 4, 

2011, Judge Yoder issued a pleading enumerating the duplicity then stating "Accordingly, that docket is 

closed". While the October 4, 2011 pleading was captioned in part as a "Notice of Assignment. .. " there 

was no language in the pleading assigning the case. The parties will be asked to brief, in Post-Hearings 

briefs, the following: (1) is a formal ''Notice of Assignment" (NOA) necessary before an ALJ can perform 

any function with respect to a case?; (2) does an ALJ have jurisdiction over a case which is not assigned to 

him/her by language in an NOA?; (3) which DMS case was "closed" by the October 4, 2011 pleading?; (4) 

is "closing a docket" the same as dismissing a docket/case?; (5) does closing a docket preclude the parties 

from having the issues adjudicated?; (6) has FAA-20 11-0680 and/or FAA-20 11-0779 been dismissed by 

the October 4, 2011 pleading?: (7) any other matter the parties feel should be briefed with respect to the 

Order of October 4, 2011. 

2 The parties should confirm the courtroom the day of the hearing.
