Matter of Jeter v. Poole

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of petitioner’s challenge to her indicated listing on the State Central Register. It held that due process did not require assigned counsel at the administrative hearing, that statutory amendments creating an irrebuttable presumption following specified Family Court dispositions did not apply to an agency determination issued before the amendments’ effective date, and that substantial evidence supported the agency’s finding. The Court also upheld the hearing officer’s refusal to consider an undated purported recantation.
