1107.02000 – Weight Given to ALJ’s Proposed Decision: Findings, Conclusions, Credibility Resolutions
Where a credibility determination plays a vital role in a case, although the Board is free to consider the entire record and draw its own conclusions, it will afford deference to the ALJ's findings of fact which incorporate credibility determinations where there is no basis in the transcript to overturn the determination.
1107.19000 – Motion to Reopen Record
Board denied motion to reopen record where evidence sought to be entered concerned the authenticity of a document and the credibility of the proffered author of the document where that individual testified at the hearing and there was an opportunity for both parties to examine and cross-examine her. This is not newly discovered evidence which could not have beeen obtained with reasonable diligence.
1105.19000 – Newly Discovered Evidence

Respondent must be given adequate notice and opportunity to defend.
