OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

In the Matter of the Revocation of the Child Foster Care License of Alfreda Riddley

PREHEARING ORDER

A prehearing conference was held by telephone on February 11, 2010. Michael Q. Lynch, Assistant Hennepin County Attorney, appeared on behalf of the Department of Human Services. Angela M. Munoz, Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, L.L.P., appeared on behalf of Alfreda Riddley.

This matter has been pending for several months awaiting the disposition of juvenile proceedings in Hennepin County. Those matters have been largely resolved, and Hennepin County Human Services and Public Health and the Department are attempting to resolve this matter with Ms. Riddley.

The parties agreed to set the matter for hearing in the event that it is not resolved.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. This matter is scheduled for hearing on May 11, 2010, commencing at 9:30 a.m., at the Office of Administrative Hearings, 600 North Robert Street, St. Paul, Minnesota.

2. The parties shall exchange proposed written exhibits and witness lists, and file an index of exhibits and a copy of the witness list with this office by May 4, 2010. See Minn. R. 1400.6950. To the extent possible, the parties shall enter into prehearing stipulations regarding the facts involved in the hearing and foundation for anticipated exhibits. Any party objecting to foundation for any written exhibit shall notify the offering party and judge in writing at least two working days prior to the hearing or the foundation objection is waived.

3. Hearings are ordinarily digitally recorded. In the event that any party requests a court reporter, notice shall be given to the Office of Administrative Hearings no later than May 4, 2010. See Minn. R. 1400.7400, subp. 2.

4. Requests for subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses or the production of documents shall be made in writing to the administrative law judge pursuant to Minn. R. 1400.7000. A copy of the subpoena request shall be served on the other parties. A subpoena request form is available at www.oah.state.mn.us.

5. The parties have not requested accommodation for a disability or appointment of an interpreter. The Office of Administrative Hearings shall be notified promptly if either an accommodation or interpreter is needed.

6. This case may be appropriate for mediation. The parties are encouraged to consider requesting the Chief Administrative Law Judge to assign a mediator so that mediation can be scheduled promptly.
