46 C.F.R. Subpart I—Summary Disposition (Rule 9)
Title 46 - Shipping
Any party or (if a petition to intervene shall have been filed but not have been acted upon) any prospective party may at or before the first prehearing conference in any proceeding, or at such later time as might be allowed by the presiding officer, move with supporting affidavits for a summary disposition in his favor of all or any part of the proceeding. Any adverse party may within 20 days serve opposing affidavits or may countermove for summary disposition. Oral argument thereon may be granted in the discretion of the presiding officer. The presiding officer may grant such motion if the application, motion, or other pleadings, affidavits or depositions, if any, and matters of official notice show that there is no genuine issue as to any material facts, that there is no necessity that further facts be developed in the record, and that such party is entitled to a decision as a matter of law. The order of the presiding officer denying a motion for summary disposition shall be subject to interlocutory appeal under the provisions of §201.123. An order granting a motion for summary disposition is automatically reviewable by the Administration in accordance with the provisions of §201.133 and shall not be final until acted upon by the Administration.
