D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 22, r. 22-B1110
Motions for rehearing or reconsideration may be filed by respondent within ten (10) days of service of the proposed decision issued pursuant to § 1109.1 of these rules.
Motions for rehearing or reconsider shall be in writing and shall state with specificity the grounds upon which they are based.
The hearing officer, if he or she was not the Director or authorized to make a final decision, shall forward a copy of respondent's motion for rehearing or reconsideration to the Director or person authorized to make a final decision, together with the hearing officer's recommendation.
If the person who is to render a final decision in the matter did not personally hear the evidence, that person shall provide the respondent with an opportunity to present oral argument with respect to his or her motion and personally consider the portions of the record as may be designated by the party, before rendering a final decision adverse to respondent.
A timely motion for rehearing or reconsideration is a prerequisite to an appeal under § 1111 unless otherwise authorized by the Director.
