Brain Cramp - What object to query to check if the provisioning request failed

I guess I am having a but of a brain cramp today.  What I am looking for is the object to query to see if a provisioning request has failed.  What I am looking for is the first step to see if a job has failed and if so automatically re-submit the request.  I was thinking about making this check during the start of the unprovisioning and destroying stubs so that if a request was found in a failed cleanup state I could bypass the decommission steps like releasing name, ip and such and then for loop through the properties and resubmitting the request.

Thanks

Cheers
