The matter was then transmitted to the OAL as a contested case. On June 7, 2005, a plenary hearing was held before ALJ Dubin. Notice was sent to Mr. Sheddan, however, he failed to appear. Due to the seriousness of the violations, the Racing Commission requested to present ex parte proofs. The ALJ then issued his initial decision on Juy 25, 2005. On September 15, 2005, the New Jersey Racing Commission determined to adopt the Initial Decision (dated 7/25/05) of Administrative Law Judge Israel Dubin, which ordered that Daniel Sheddan be permanently expelled from racing in New Jersey, denied the privilege of entering any track or premises licensed by the Racing Commission and fined a total of $7,500 based upon the aforementioned violations.
