“The record establishes that the placement hearing was free from procedural error, 'save for the alleged impermissible review by the Commissioner. This review, however, amounted to no more than a rubberstamp of the hearing officer’s decision. It might be appropriate for the district court merely to order the Commissioner to consider the findings of the first hearing final and binding. This would avoid a time-consuming and costly duplication of the earlier hearing.”
