If a case is referred to SOAH with a request for the assignment of an ALJ because of a discovery or procedural dispute, will the case be sent back to the Comptroller once the dispute is resolved?
SOAH will retain jurisdiction over the case until the case is formally dismissed from the docket or until a PFD is issued. If the case is not ready to proceed to an evidentiary hearing after the procedural dispute is resolved, the assigned ALJ may monitor the case by setting deadlines or requesting status updates.
