and Case 31-CA-074675
UNITE HERE – LOCAL 11
ORDER1
The Respondent’s request for special permission to appeal from Administrative
Law Judge Lisa D. Thompson’s order precluding testimony by the Respondent’s
proposed expert witnesses and barring the Respondent from reasserting its argument
that delays in this case violated its due-process rights is denied. The Respondent has
failed to establish that the judge’s ruling cannot be appropriately addressed at a later
stage of this proceeding. Moreover, argument in support of the request fails to show
that the judge abused her discretion in finding that the proposed expert testimony would
not assist her in understanding the evidence or in determining any fact in issue.
Dated, Washington, D.C., April 18, 2018.
