Submit Brief or Written Argument
A brief, or written argument, is nothing more than a written statement of the reasons you disagree or agree with the Hearing Officer's Decision.  There is no particular format that must be followed when submitting a written argument. If there are specific portions of the hearing recording that support your position, be sure to refer to them in your statement.  

Appropriate issues to raise in the written argument may include:

  - The decision is not supported by the facts.
  - The decision is incorrect as a matter of law.
  - The Hearing Officer improperly ruled against requests you made during the hearing.
  - The Hearing Officer failed to give sufficient weight to certain evidence introduced at the hearing.
  - Other issues you may have with the decision or how the hearing was conducted.

A written argument is NOT an invitation to submit "new" evidence that was not presented at the hearing.  It IS your opportunity to present statements based on the evidence reflected in the hearing that point out the factors the Panel should consider in making their decision.
