Heading: Board Chair Ms. McMonagle's Decisions

Text: ¶ 30 Mr. King claims that Board chair Ms. McMonagle acted beyond her authority in denying Mr. King's motion to vacate the committee's findings and Mr. King's motion for reconsideration of that denial because such decisions are for the Board. The entire Board or a quorum thereof, ELC 2.3(b), is charged with reviewing decisions if a party files a notice of appeal within 15 days of service of the decision. ELC 11.2(b). Mr. King filed both motions in question within the 15-day time limit. ¶ 31 However, the meaning of [d]ecision as used in ELC 11.2(b) is restricted to the hearing officer or panel's findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation. [6] ELC 11.2(a). The review committee's decision and order falls outside this category, so the rules do not require the full Board's attention. Mr. King's due process rights were not violated.
