  6         624.84  Review and stay of action.--During the period

  7  of supervision, the insurer may contest an action taken or

  8  proposed to be taken by the supervisor, specifying the manner

  9  wherein the action complained of would not result in improving

10  the condition of the insurer. Such, and the request shall not

11  stay the action specified pending reconsideration of the

12  action by the department. If upon reconsideration the action

13  of the department is upheld, the stay shall be lifted.  Denial
