IN THE  SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES


                                   No. 19-199


                    MANFREDO M. SALINAS, PETITIONER

                                       V.

             U.S. RAILROAD   RETIREMENT BOARD, RESPONDENT


 MOTION   FOR  LEAVE   TO  DISPENSE   WITH   THE  REQUIREMENT OF A JOINT
                                  APPENDIX



      Pursuant to Rules 21 and 26.8 of this Court, petitioner Manfredo M. Salinas respect-

fully moves for leave to dispense with the requirement of a joint appendix in the above-

captioned case. Counsel for respondent the United States Railroad Retirement Board has

authorized undersigned counsel to state that respondent concurs in this motion.

      The question presented in this case is whether the Railroad Retirement Board's de-

nial of a request to reopen a prior benefits determination is a final decision subject to

judicial review under section 5(f) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, 45 U.S.C.

§ 355(f), and section 8 of the Railroad Retirement Act, 45 U.S.C. § 231g. This case thus

presents a pure question of law. The opinion of the court of appeals and the administrative

decisions below are reproduced in the appendix to the petition for certiorari. The parties

do not believe that any other portion of the record merits special attention that warrants

the preparation and expense of a joint appendix. To the extent that any citations to the

record are required, the parties agree that reference to the certified administrative record

filed in the court of appeals is appropriate. A separate joint appendix therefore would not

materially assist the Court's consideration of this case. For the foregoing reasons, the mo-

tion to dispense with the requirement of a joint appendix should be granted.
