Any input about what the procedures are in your state for a filing party to withdraw their request for a due process hearing would be appreciated. We are interested in your procedures beyond the typical reasons for withdrawal (full resolution at a resolution session, mediation or private settlement).  For example, a pro se parent wants to withdraw their request after a resolution session or mediation that did not resolve the issues. Our general questions about this include: 1) Is the ability to withdraw a hearing request outlined in your state regulations or as a policy/procedure? 2) Does the hearing officer issue an order/approve all withdrawal requests? 3) Is there a point in your regulations/procedures that the hearing must continue to a final decision on the issues? 4) Do you have specific procedures the hearing officer must follow to determine if the withdrawal is appropriate and whether it is with or without prejudice?
