Argument 

Federal Rule of Evidence 408 prohibits the use of conduct or statements made during 

compromise negotiations for tlie purposes of proving the invalidity or amount of a claim. Fed. R.. 

Evid. 403. Settlement offers are expressly included. Id. The public policy purpose underlying 

Rule 408 in encouraging sctUement discussions is as legitimate a concern in Federal .A.viaTion 

Administration (FAA) civil penalty proceedings as in a Federal trial. In the Matter of Africa Air 

Corporanon^ FAA Order "No. ?9-5. The rule is applicable in F-\A civil penalty proceedings. Id. 

As Respondent is presently apro se litigant. Complainant is filing this motion out of an 

abundance of caution. Complainant seeks to put Respondent on notice that settlement 

negotiations and offers are not appropriate evidence at a civil penalty heojing. 

Conditio n 

For the foregoing reasons. Complainant asks that the ALJ issue an Order prohibiting the 

introduction of any evidence of settlement negotiations in wliich the parties may have engaged.
