A plain and concise statement of the points for which the offender wants review, specifically identifying how the challenged Board action is alleged to be in violation of statutes or Board rules, or how it is alleged that the decision was not supported by evidence in the record, or in what other way the offender believes the Board’s action to be in error. A request for administrative review must concisely explain how the case fits the criteria for review listed in OAR 255-080-0010 (Criteria for Granting a Review).

(e)

The request must state, where applicable, what statute, administrative rule, or constitutional provision is alleged to have been violated, including the effective date of the law or rule.

(a)

All writing shall be legible and capable of being read without difficulty.

(b)

The request must be written on standard 8.5" x 11” white or light blue paper.

(c)

Each page shall have margins of at least 1” on all sides.

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

An offender may request an exception to the limits in these rules, stating a specific reason for exceeding the prescribed limit(s). The request must reach the Board no fewer than fourteen days before the administrative review request is due. The Board, at its discretion, may permit the filing of a review request, and/or additional documentation that exceeds the page limits prescribed in subsection (2) of this rule. The Board may deny an untimely motion under this paragraph on the ground that the offender failed to make a reasonable effort to file the motion on time.

(b)

If the Board grants permission for a longer review request, or additional documentation in support of the request, the documents shall conform to the rules set forth above in section (1).

(c)

This rule does not create an exception to the timeliness requirements of OAR 255-080-0005 (Procedure for Administrative Review). The offender is responsible for requesting an exception and filing his review request within 45 days as required by OAR 255-080-0005 (Procedure for Administrative Review)
