1Opinion of the Court
REDDEN, Judge:
These are de novo proceedings brought pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 2023. The suits are brought by the owners of two retail food stores, who challenge the action of the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in disqualifying them from participation in the federal food stamp program for stated periods of time, one year and six months, respectively.

I agree and remand the cases to the FNS for further action. FACTS
