蘑菇视频AT Held or 蘑菇视频DT Pronouncements
Noting that it had received a Motion to Withdraw, 蘑菇视频AT granted the motion. 蘑菇视频AT held that, the appeal having been withdrawn, the 蘑菇视频DT judgment remained in force.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
The Applicant contested the decisions: 1) to issue a written reprimand; 2) to place a warning on her Official Status File (OSF); and 3) to refuse her legal assistance. 蘑菇视频DT found unnecessary to rule on the lawfulness of the reprimand, which had been withdrawn, and in relation to which the Applicant showed no compensable harm. 蘑菇视频DT found that the Applicant could not show moral or material damages from the written reprimand having been on her OSF for a period of just over one month. With respect to the refusal of the Office of Administration of Justice (OAJ) to provide legal assistance, 蘑菇视频DT noted that OAJ had indicated the written reprimand was lawful. 蘑菇视频DT concluded that OAJ was entitled to refuse her legal assistance from OSLA, given the inherent conflict of interest posed by her application against a decision emanating from the Chief of the Office of Staff Legal Assistance.
Legal Principle(s)
An Appellant may withdraw his or her appeal simply by giving notice; the request need not be justified.
