11 I think in Comrel vs. Council is not a conflict of interest, but rather
12 throwing the appeals process off balance. Can you expect someone to neutrally
13 review material and actions (question the authenticity of evidence, identify
14 potential misconduct, etc.) that they themselves used to build the case
15 against the reprimanded?
