California OAH special education order · May 20, 2015
Order Denying Request for Reconsideration as Moot
OAH Case No. 2015040812 · ALJ Cole Dalton
OAH denied SDCOE's request to reconsider the denial of its untimely Notice of Insufficiency as moot, because Student's motion to dismiss SDCOE as a party had been granted.
Summary
On May 15, 2015, OAH denied the San Diego County Office of Education's Notice of Insufficiency as untimely. SDCOE asked OAH to reconsider that order, and no one opposed. Student's motion to dismiss SDCOE as a party was then granted on May 20, 2015, so the issues raised in the Notice of Insufficiency no longer mattered. OAH therefore denied the reconsideration request as moot.
Why it matters
Once a party is dismissed from a case, its pending challenges, such as reconsideration of a sufficiency ruling, become moot. Dropping an agency from a complaint can end side disputes with that agency.
