Section Rko 208.03 - Motions for Expedited Proceedings or Rulings
(a) Upon motion or sua sponte, the ombudsman shall expedite proceedings or rulings when the ombudsman concludes that:
(1) It is necessary to address a likely future violation of RSA 91-A;
(2) Is is necessary to fairly and efficiently resolve a case; or
(3) Only high prioritization of a ruling could avoid a clearly articulated, irreparable, and substantial future harm.
(b) In considering whether to expedite proceedings, the ombudsman shall consider:
(1) The nature and complexity of the case;
(2) The likelihood and magnitude of irreparable harm if the proceeding is not expedited;
(3) The likely impact of expedited procedures upon other work of the office;
(4) The necessity of ex parte action; and
(5) Any other matter which bears upon whether the proceeding at hand should be afforded greater priority than other work of the office;
(c) A person's desire to receive a swift order or otherwise expedite proceedings so as to address a deadline which is not imposed upon that person by law shall not, standing alone, be sufficient grounds for granting a motion for expedited action by the ombudsman.
