Or. Admin. Code § 255-080-0005

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 255-080-0005 - Procedure for Administrative Review

(1) An offender may obtain administrative review of a final Board action by sending a request for review to the Board within forty-five (45) days after the mailing date on the Board's final action on the issue to be reviewed.

(2) The Board will reject an untimely request for administrative review. Timeliness will be determined as follows for all Board actions except Orders of Supervision:

(a) The request is physically received by the Board on or before the 45th day after the mailing date on the Board's final action on the reviewed issue; or

(b) The request is delivered to the Board:

(A) by mail in an envelope bearing a United States Postal Service (USPS) cancellation stamp, a USPS postage meter electronic imprint, sticker, or stamp, a postage meter sticker or stamp from a "postage evidencing system" that is regulated and approved for use by the United States Postal Service pursuant to 39 CFRs. 501, et seq., that is dated on or before the 45th day after the mailing date on the Board's final action: a postage evidencing system refers to postage by any method other than postage stamps and includes (but is not limited to) postage meters; or

(B) by a parcel delivery service such as, or comparable to, United Parcel Service, Federal Express, or Airborne Express, that indicates the date on which the parcel delivery service received material for delivery to the Board, which date is on or before the 45th day after the mailing date on the Board's final action.

(C) If the Board finds that the administrative review request was not:

(a) placed in the mail on the date indicated on the postage meter sticker or stamp or

(b) delivered to the parcel delivery service on the date indicated on the parcel delivery service receipt, the delivery rules in OAR 255-080-005(2)(b)(i) and (ii) shall not apply.

(c) In the case of an inmate, if there is no legible USPS cancellation stamp or other postal mailing verification as defined in paragraph (2)(b) above, the request will be treated as timely if the inmate signed and dated the request and placed it in the institutional mailing system, following all applicable Department of Corrections rules, on or before the 45th day after the mailing date on the Board's final action.

(3)

(a) For Orders of Supervision (including Orders to Continue/Amend Supervision), an offender must request administrative review within forty-five (45) days after the date he or she received the order. The Board will reject a request for administrative review of an Order of Supervision as untimely unless:

(A) The request is physically received by the Board on or before the 45th day after the date the offender received the order as determined by offender's signature on the order or other proof as stated in paragraph (3)(b); or

(B) The request is delivered to the Board by mail in an envelope bearing a United States Postal Service (USPS) cancellation stamp or other postal mailing verification as defined in paragraph (2)(b) above, dated on or before the 45th day after the date the offender received the order as determined by offender's signature on the order or other proof as stated in paragraph (3)(b).

(b) The offender's date of receipt may be established by:

(A) The date the order was signed by the offender, or

(B) If the offender did not sign the order, the Board will accept an electronic chronological entry or a note made by an employee of the Department of Corrections or of the supervisory authority as evidence of the date the offender received the Order of Supervision.

(4) If the Board or its designee finds that the request is timely, and that it is consistent with the criteria as defined in rules 255-080-0010 and 255-080-0011, and meets the deadline requirements, the Board will respond to the request using the procedures outlined in OAR 255-080-0012.

(5) When the Board or its designee grants review, the Board shall send the offender a written response.

(a) If relief is denied, the response will explain the reasons for the decision. When relief is denied, the prior decision stands.

(b) If relief is granted, the response will either implement the relief, or specify the Board action to be taken implementing relief.

(6) When the Board or its designee denies review, the Board shall send the offender written notice of the specific reasons for denial.

(a) When review is denied, the prior decision stands.
