8)         To request an order that a Board or hearing officer reconsider its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law or Recommendation or to request a new hearing or additional hearings.

9)         To request that a Board or hearing officer deem a failure to file an Answer to be an admission of the truth of the allegations contained in the Complaint.

10)         To request employment of a hearing officer.

11)         To request that a member of the Board be excluded from the hearing or deliberations for prejudice.

12)         To request that an Order be vacated or modified.
