 Oglala Lakota College, Dkt. No. 90-57-R
Oglala argued in its Response that an exchange of correspondence between the Department and itself, identified as Oglala's Exhibits "A" and "B," should be treated as a preliminary departmental decision pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1234a(a) and its Exhibit "C" should be treated as a timely request for review.
Thus, Oglala's assertions that its Exhibits "A" and "B" should be construed as final payment demands by the Department, although clearly marked Draft and clearly lacking an Appeal Rights section, or to treat its Exhibit "C" as a request for review, filed within the prescribed GEPA time period, are not well founded.
Oglala's failure to satisfy the absolute requirement of a timely filing, not only deprives the OALJ of any authority to hear the proceeding but also precludes it from reaching any of the meritorious defenses which Oglala might otherwise raise.
