ORDER ACCEPTING SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL 

AND GRANTING OAEP'S MOTION TO AMEND THE SERVICE LIST 

On June 19, 2014 an Order Finding Respondents in Default was filed. 

On July 22, 2014, an Order Deeming Well-Pleaded Facts Admitted, Reserving Entry of 

Default Judgment, and Setting Deadline for Filing Supplemental Proof was filed. 

On August 4, 2014 the Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings' ("OAEP") 

contacted the Office of Hearings ("OH") by telephone to ask some procedural questions. On 

August 5, 2014 the OH attorney staff responded to the OAEP's inquiries by return telephone 

call. 

On August 11,2014 the OAEP filed a Notice ofUpdated Service List ("Notice"), with a 

lengthy, un-paginated, attachment. In this Notice, the OAEP requested that the litigation service 

list be amended to reflect an internal OAEP substitution of counsel (Notice, 1). In addition, the 

OAEP requested that the litigation service list also be amended to add a newly discovered 

mailing address for both Respondents (Notice, 1-2). The OAEP asserted that the provided 

attachment generally demonstrated (no page references provided) that Respondent Christopher 

Behnam had recently utilized a California state address in a 2014 federal court action. Given 

that Mr. Behnam's Florida state service address had been identical with Respondent Friendship's 

Florida state service address in this action, the OAEP moved that the newly discovered 
California state address for Mr. Behnam be added to the service list in this action for both Mr. 

Behnam and Respondent Friendship (Notice, 2). 

Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 302.7 and 49 C.F.R. § 302.11, and after reviewing and 

considering all documents, relevant caselaw, regulations, statutes, and being fully advised: 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. The OAEP's Notice of an internal OAEP substitution of counsel is accepted. The 

litigation service list shall be amended to reflect that Ms. Blane A. Workie is substituting 

for Mr. Samuel Podberesky, and Mr. Robert Gorman is substituting for Ms. Laura 

Jennings. 

2. The OAEP's Motion to Amend the litigation service list to add a newly discovered 

mailing address in the state of California, for service on both Respondents, is granted. 

The service list shall include the address for 5061 Knightswood Way, Granite Bay, CA 

95746 for both Respondents. 

3. A copy of the new service list is attached to this Order.
