Oklahoma Perfecting an Application for Extraordinary Writ is the process of appealing an administrative decision made by a state or local government agency. This process is available to individuals or organizations that have been denied a benefit, or have experienced a denial of due process rights, by a state or local agency. The individual or organization must submit an application for a writ of extraordinary relief to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The application must be accompanied by a brief of argument that includes a clear and concise statement of the facts, the legal basis for the extraordinary writ, and the relief requested. The Oklahoma Supreme Court may grant the writ, which orders the agency to grant the requested relief, or deny the writ. In some cases, the court may require a hearing and/or oral argument in order to make a decision.
