v.
North Dakota Workers
Compensation Bureau, Appellee
and
Sioux Falls Construction
Company, Inc., Respondent

Appeal from: District Court, South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
Judge Benny A. Graff
Nature of Action: Workers Compensation
Counsel:
Appellant: Dietz & Little Lawyers
Appellee: Brent J. Edison , Spec. Asst. Atty. Gen.
Term: 03/2000   Argument: 03/09/2000  10:45am
ND cite: 2000 ND 94
NW cite: 610 N.W.2d 60


Issues: Appellant's Statement of the Issues:
1. Did the Bureau provide Don Hopfauf with adequate notice and a fair hearing?
2. Did Don Hopfauf provide an intentionally false statement about his employment status?
3. Did Don Hopfauf intentionally fail to report income?
4. Does the penalty imposed constitute an excessive fine?

Appellee's Statement of the Issues:
1. Whether reasoning minds could reasonably conclude Hopfauf made willful false statements to the Bureau under N.D.C.C.  65-05-33.
2. Whether constitutional arguments not raised in Hopfauf's first appeal (i.e., pre-termination due process and excessive fines) may be heard in his second appeal.
3. Whether Hopfauf's failure to appeal the district court's remedy for ex parte communications (i.e., a new hearing) precludes further review of the issue.
