MEMORANDUM
ROBERTSON, District Judge.
Plaintiff St. Joseph’s Hospital sues the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeking APA review of his decision to deny its claim for a Medicare disproportionate share payment adjustment. Plaintiff and defendant have cross-moved for summary judgment. Because it was arbitrary or capricious to overrule the unanimous decision of an agency appellate board on the ground that St. Joseph’s had failed to include particular words in its appeal, the government’s motion [Dkt. # 12] will be denied; and the hospital’s motion [Dkt. # 10] will be granted.
