Those rules provide, inter alia, that the Respondent must file a written Answer or motion 

within thirty (30) days after service of the Complaint (14 C.F.R. § 13.209(a)). that a 

general denial is deemed a failure to file an Answer (§ 13.209(e)), that failure to file an 

Answer without good cause is deemed an admission of each allegation in the Complaint

time must file a written motion not less than seven (7) days before the document is due, 

absent good cause shown (§ 13.213(a) and (b)).

A person filing an answer shall admit, deny, or state that the person is without 

sufficient knowledge or information to admit or deny, each numbered paragraph 

of the complaint. Any statement or allegation contained in the complaint that is

that allegation. A general denial of the complaint is deemed a failure to file an 

answer.

Agency attorney and the Respondent should continue to consider the possibility of 

settlement and compromise of this matter.' Compromise may be effected with or
