   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3628
   Department of Health & Human Services   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Medicare. The Department of Health and Human Services's finding that petitioner was not in substantial compliance with 42 C.F.R. Sec. 483.25 was supported by substantial evidence; the agency did not err in concluding that petitioner's noncompliance rose to the level of immediate jeopardy; judicial review of certain objections to the civil penalties imposed were barred because petitioner failed to raise the arguments to the agency; petitioner received adequate notice of the basis for the penalties and had ample opportunity to respond; as the record contains substantial evidence of noncompliance, the agency's procedural framework for shifting the burden of proof was immaterial to the outcome and the court would not address the legal issue raised by the claim.
