Serve as a Coast Guard Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) assigned to the Alameda ALJ Field Office. Coast Guard ALJs preside over formal proceedings involving the suspension and revocation of a Merchant Mariner's Credential pursuant to Chapter 77 of Title 46 of the United States Code. Coast Guard Investigating Officers initiate these proceedings against individual mariners for misconduct, negligence, incompetence, violations of law or regulation, or use of dangerous drugs. Coast Guard ALJs perform their adjudicative functions pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and agency regulations which provide ALJs with decisional independence within the parameters of the regulations and applicable law. The proceedings are adversarial trial-type hearings and are generally open to the public. The hearings are held throughout the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories; therefore, travel is required. Pursuant to interagency agreements, Coast Guard ALJs also adjudicate cases for the Department of Homeland Security (e.g., Transportation Security Agency) and other agencies outside the Department of Homeland Security (e.g., Merit Systems Protection Board, Bureau of Industry and Security, and the Internal Revenue Service). Coast Guard ALJs serve as independent and impartial triers of fact. They are granted decisional independence in cases but are subject to the Commandant's policy and the policy of the Chief ALJ. Coast Guard ALJs adjudicate matters in accordance with the Constitution, applicable law, and agency regulations as well as agency final decisions.ALJ duties include adjudicating cases in which the parties are given advance notice of the hearing, an opportunity to submit evidence, arguments, offers of settlement, and an opportunity to be accompanied, represented, and advised by counsel or other qualified representatives.

Oral or documentary evidence may be received, but irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence is excluded. Decisions are issued upon consideration of the whole record, or those parts of it cited by a party and supported by and in accordance with reliable, probative, and substantial evidence.Coast Guard ALJs will draft and issue numerous written orders that are concise, well reasoned, and promote confidence in the administrative adjudication process.
