ELC 11.3
                      SUA SPONTE REVIEW


(a) Procedure.  Sua sponte review commences when the Chair
files a notice of referral under rule 11.2(b)(3)(B).  Upon
this filing, the Chair causes a copy to be served on the
parties and schedules the matter for consideration by the
Board.  On consideration, the Board either issues an order
for sua sponte review setting forth the issues to be
reviewed or dismisses the sua sponte review.  If the Board
issues an order for sua sponte review, the procedures of
rule 11.9(e) apply unless otherwise modified by the order,
except either party may raise any issue for Board review.

(b) Standards.  The Board uses sua sponte review only in
extraordinary circumstances to prevent substantial injustice
or to correct a clear error.  Sua sponte review uses the
same standards of review as other cases.
