WALLACE CHARLEY
10th day Oct. 27?

NAVAJO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ATTORNEY PAUL SPRUHAN
possible motion for reconsideration to OHA. also appeal time. how those two intersect is up to Deschene’s group to do both. whatever they decide, there is ten day period. don’t know if go to Navajo Supreme Court where OHA decision could be reversed so really up to Deschene and his attorney if pursue to Supreme Court. That is my general view. There is sentence section 44 of law, expects Election Board to place next highest candidate on ballot.
