616. INTERLOCUTORY APPEALS

616 SUMMARY DISPOSITION 616.1 If, upon examination of the record in an appeal, it appears to the Administrative Judge that there are no material and genuine issues of fact, that a party is entitled to a decision as a matter of law, or that the appeal fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the Administrative Judge may, after notifying the parties and giving them an opportunity to submit additional evidence or legal argument, render a summary disposition of the matter without further proceedings. 616.2 An Administrative Judge may render a summary disposition either sua sponte, after notice under Rule 616.1, or upon motion of a party. 616.3 An order granting summary disposition shall conform to the requirements for initial decisions set forth in Rule 632.
