Hearing Information

Request a Hearing FAQs

Can I request a hearing to contest the violation?

To challenge this infraction, you may request a hearing within 30 days of the date on the first ASE System Fine Notice, or you lose the right to appeal.  The Hearing Request form may be obtained on usview.cite-web.com. 

Request a Hearing (Online or In-Person)

Mailing and email instructions for the Hearing Request Form are included on the Appeal Request Form. If the infraction is not dismissed after your hearing, you must pay your fine. You have the right to appeal the hearing officer's decision.

At your hearing, the rules of evidence, the New Mexico Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Albuquerque Independent Office of Hearings Ordinance will apply.

What is an Online Dispute?

You can message the hearing officer directly to upload your documents via the online dispute process. Online disputes are recommended, as they can be resolved quickly without the need to schedule a zoom or in-person hearing. This is a dispute option available to you online at usview.cite-web.com. You must enter any information you would like to have considered when you request an online dispute. You will be allowed to upload documents.

Online disputes are most effective when:

• The vehicle was stolen at the time of the infraction. A copy of the police report must be included with the dispute.
• The citation contains an error or does not demonstrate a violation of the City’s Automated Speed Enforcement Ordinance.

Online disputes are not effective when:

• You do not have documentation to support your dispute.
• The vehicle was sold or transferred and you cannot complete the owner’s affidavit to reassign ownership.
  • Citations are applied to the vehicle, not the driver. Future citations will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle. These citations will not affect your credit or the status of your driver’s license.

Who conducts an Automated Speed Enforcement hearing?

The City Clerk’s Office will administer Automated Speed Enforcement hearings. The hearing officers are appointed by the presiding judge of the civil division of the district court, and the hearings will adhere to the Independent Hearing Office (IHO) Rules and Ordinance.
