FINAL DECISION AND ORDER
BACKGROUND
The Complainant, Patricia Anderson, has filed a complaint under the Energy Reorganization Act, 42 U.S.C.A § 5851 (West 1995) (ERA). On February 13, 2004, Anderson filed a request for a hearing with Chief Judge John Vittone. When the Office
of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) had not responded to this request by March 25,
2004, Anderson petitioned the ARB to review the OALJ's failure to "hold a timely
hearing" pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 24.6 (2003)."
