Case No. 2019-CV-00197
South Central Judicial District, Mercer County
Bruce A. Romanick
2020 ND 168946 N.W.2d 486
Oral Argument 6/30/2020

Highlight

A party appealing a hearing officer’s decision must file “reasonably specific” specifications of error detailing which matters are at issue, so as to alert the agency, other parties, and the court of the particular errors claimed.

A rehabilitation plan is appropriate if it meets the requirements of N.D.C.C. ch. 65-05.1 and gives the injured worker a reasonable opportunity to obtain substantial gainful employment.

An ALJ’s decision was supported by evidence from which a reasoning mind could have reasonably concluded WSI’s rehabilitation plan would return Beam to substantial gainful employment in light of his injuries.
