However, notice is of little value "unless one is informed that the matter is pending and can choose for himself whether to appear or default, acquiesce or contest." Id. at 314 ; see also Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F. Supp. 880, 886 (W.D.

Mass. 1987); Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F. Supp. 880, 884 (W.D.

“Several courts have found notices like the one plaintiff received to be defective, or at a minimum to present a colorable due process claim.... [B]ased on the language of plaintiffs notice, the court finds that plaintiff has made out a colorable constitutional-due process-claim sufficient to give this court subject matter jurisdiction.” Id.; see also, Aponte v. Sullivan, 823 F.Supp. 277, 282 (E.D.Penn.1993); Christopher v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 702 F.Supp.…

In Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 888 (W.D.Mo.1984), the court stated that: If “an administrative proceeding has not been of an adjudicative nature, a decision arrived at by the administrative agency cannot have res judicata effect.” Delamater v. Schweiker, [ 721 F.2d 50, 53 (2nd Cir.1983) ].

The cases the Gonzalez court relied upon for this proposition, Christopher v. Secretary of Health and Human Serv., 702 F.Supp. 41, 43 (N.D.N.Y.1989); Butland v. Bowen, 673 F.Supp. 638, 640-42 (D.Mass.1987); Dedly v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 884-87 (W.D.Mo.1984), were cited with approval by the Sixth Circuit in Day.

See, e.g., Day v. Shalala, 23 F.3d 1052, 1065-66 (6th Cir. 1994); Aponte v. Sullivan, 823 F. Supp. 277, 282 (E.D.Pa. 1993); Christopher v. Secretary of HHS, 702 F.

Auth., supra at 265; Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F. Supp. 880, 886 (W.D.

See Christopher v. Secretary of Health and Human Serv., 702 F.Supp. 41, 43 (N.D.N.Y.1989); Butland v. Bowen, 673 F.Supp. 638, 640-42 (D.Mass.1987); Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 884-887 (W.D.Mo.1984).

Under the circumstances, we do not believe that plaintiff could be expected to piece together the two notices to discern the true meaning of the second notice, especially in light of the statement in the subsequent notice that failure to request a hearing before the ALJ within the prescribed time did not affect her right to “file another application at any time.” See Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 885-87 (W.D.Mo.1984) (holding that a notice similar to that given in the d…

Bowen, 673 F.Supp. 638 (D.Mass.1987) (applicant for social security disability benefits); Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 884-86 (W.D.Mo.1984) (applicant for social security disability benefits); but see, e.g., Lozano v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 184,186 (1990); Hill v. Group Three Housing Development Corp., 799 F.2d 385, 391 (8th Cir.1986); Ei…

Thus, as the Butland court concluded, this language served “to mislead and deceive the disability applicant[s]” into believing that they still have “the right to file another application at any time,” “even though a claimant did not seek an appeal, when in fact subsequent applications may be barred by the doctrine of res judicata." 673 F.Supp. at 640 (quoting Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 887 (W.D.Mo.1984)).

See Christopher v. Secretary of Health and Human Serv., 702 F.Supp. 41, 43 (N.D.N.Y.1989); Butland, 673 F.Supp. at 640-42 ; Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 884-87 (W.D.Mo.1984).

In Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 887 (W.D.Mo.1984), the district court found a denial notice containing identical language constitutionally deficient because “it serves to mislead and deceive the disability applicant and denies the applicant the right to make an intelligent and informed decision.” This court reaches the same conclusion.

However, notice is of little value "unless one is informed that the matter is pending and can choose for himself whether to appear or default, acquiesce or contest." Id. at 314 ; see Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F. Supp. 880, 886 (W.D.

See Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880 (W.D.Mo.1984). *778 III Further evidence that res judicata was misapplied by the AU appears in both the Act and the regulations.

See also Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880 (W.D.Mo.1984) (the court held that an applicant for Social Security disability benefits had established a legitimate claim of entitlement so as to implicate a property interest and trigger due process restrictions on government action.). *794 The DOE argues that plaintiffs do not have a property interest in a disability discharge and contends that this Court should look to bankruptcy cases for guidance.

However, notice is of little value “unless one is informed that the matter is pending and can choose for himself whether to appear or default, acquiesce or contest.” Id. at 314 , 70 S.Ct. 652 ; see also Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 886 (W.D.Mo.1984) (“Adequate notice requires accuracy in the description of legal rights and options available to parties.”).

Because defective notice can give rise to due process violations in some circumstances, See, e.g., Penner v. Schweiker, supra; compare Dealy v. Heckler, 616 F.Supp. 880, 884-88 (W.D.Mo.1984) (due process violation when claimant relied upon notice that she had right to file another application at any time, and claimant was unaware of doctrine of administrative res judicata), we find that plaintiff has made out a colorable constitutional claim sufficient to give us subject mat…
