Court of Appeals of Maryland June 20, 2011, 46, September Term, 2010 (County Council v. Billings)

ADKINS, J.

In this case, we must consider an administrative appeals board’s practice of “withdrawing an election to review.” The District Council of Prince George’s County may, on its own initiative, “elect to review” certain local land use decisions. In practice, the Council sometimes, after electing to review a decision, “withdraws” its election and declares final the agency decisions.
