SANDSTROM, Justice,
concurring specially.
In an appeal from the decision of an administrative agency, N.D.C.C. § 28-32-15(4) requires the appealing party to file “specifications of error.” The appealing party is limited on appeal to those issues identified in the specifications of error with sufficient specificity to fairly apprise the agency and other parties of the particular errors claimed. Held v. North Dakota Workers Compensation Bureau, 540 N.W.2d 166, 171 (N.D.1995) (Sandstrom, J., concurring specially). See Berger v. State Highway Commissioner, 394 N.W.2d 678, 686 (N.D.1986); Wisdom v. *417State ex rel. North Dakota Real Estate Commission, 403 N.W.2d 19, 22 (N.D.1987).
Maginn’s boilerplate “specifications of error” are so general they could apply to any administrative agency appeal. They fail to specifically identify any error with any particularity. Because Maginn’s specifications of error failed to identify any error -with sufficient specificity, I would summarily affirm the agency.
