DECISION | |
DETERMINATION TO DECLINE REVIEW On March 28, 2005, the petitioner, Jeffrey Knute Connell, filed a Notice of Appeal regarding the January 26, 2005 decision issued by Administrative Law Judge Steven T. Kessell (DAB CR1271). Based on our evaluation of the issues presented in the brief accompanying the Notice of Appeal, we have determined that we need not render a separate decision. We therefore decline review and summarily affirm the administrative law judge's decision. The administrative law judge's decision becomes final and binding 60 days from the date of service of this letter. See 42 C.F.R. � 1005.21(j). The date of service will be deemed to be 5 days from the date of mailing. Judicial review is available in an appropriate United States district court if a civil action is filed within 60 days after service of this decision. See sections 1128(f)(1) and 205(g) of the Social Security Act and 42 C.F.R. � 1005.21(k)(1). |
