“(1) Gaps in the administrative transcript owing to a mechanical failure, unavailability of a witness, improper exclusion of evidence by the administrative agency, and evidence concerning relevant events subsequent to the administrative hearing; (2) Not allowing additional evidence to change the character of the hearing from one of review to a trial de novo; (3) Not allowing a party to undercut the statutory role of administrative expertise; (4) The unfairness involved in one party’s reserving its best evidence for trial; (5) The reason the witness did not testify at the administrative hearing; and (6) The conservation of judicial resources.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] court should weigh heavily the important concerns of not allowing a party to undercut the statutory role of administrative expertise, the unfairness involved in one party’s reserving its best evidence for trial, the reason the witness did not testify at the administrative hearing, and the conservation of judicial resources.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where the district court does not receive any additional evidence or testimony, this court stands in the same shoes as the district court in reviewing the administrative record and may, therefore, accept the conclusions of the ALJ and district court that are supported by the record and reject those that are not.”
