| DECISION | |
|
DETERMINATION TO DECLINE REVIEW On July 25, 2006, the petitioner, Krishnaswami Sriram, M.D., filed a Notice of Appeal regarding the June 21, 2006 decision issued by Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Richard J. Smith (DAB CR1463). Based on our review of the record and our evaluation of the issues raised in the Notice of Appeal (and accompanying brief), we have determined that we need not issue a separate decision. We therefore decline review of and summarily affirm the ALJ's June 21, 2006 decision. The ALJ's decision becomes final and binding 60 days from the date of service of this letter. See 42 C.F.R. § 1005.21(j). The date of service will be deemed to be 5 days from the date of mailing. Judicial review is available in an appropriate United States district court if a civil action is filed within 60 days after service of this decision. See sections 1128(f)(1) and 205(g) of the Social Security Act and 42 C.F.R. § 1005.21(k)(1). |
