ORDER GRANTING COMPLAINANT'S MOTION 

Complainant Federal Aviation Administration ("Complainant") on October 19, 

2010 filed a Motion to Compel Discovery Responses and Motion to Deem as an

("Motion"). Alleging the failure of Respondent Samuel Joseph Latham ("Respondent" or

statement in its Requests for Admission be deemed admitted, as provided in the Rules of 

Practice in FAA Civil Penalty Actions (14 C.F.R. §13.220(l)(l)). The Motion also asks 

that Respondent be compelled to provide complete answers to each of Complainant's 

discovery requests. Respondent did not answer the Motion. 

Complainant's Motion is hereby GRANTED. 

WHEREFORE, it is ORDERED as follows: 

1. Respondent shall provide a full, separate, and complete response to each 

and every Interrogatory and Request for Production of Documents 

propounded by Complainant, no later than December 6, 2010 (mailing 

date); 
2. Mr. Latham be and is hereby DEEMED to have admitted each 

statement in Complainant's Request for Admissions; and 

3. In the event that Mr. Latham fails to comply with each and every term of this 

Order by December 6, 2010, he may be sanctioned including, but not limited to, 

allegations in the Complaint may be deemed admitted (other than those already 

deemed admitted by this Order); Respondent may be precluded from introducing 

any evidence at the hearing other than personal testimony; Respondent's Request 

for Hearing may be dismissed; and/or a Default Judgment may be entered against 

Respondent in the full amount of the fine requested by the Complainant in its 

Complaint.
