ARGUMENT 

Respondent admits in the first paragraph that the Notice1 was properly addressed to Gl~bal Arms, but that it was given to a !Ylr. Allion Brewer who is not an e1nployee of Global Anns. 

It is not Complainant's responsibility to ensure that actual employees of a company are 

there to receive documents that have been properly addressed to that company. Respondent offers 

no explanation as to why someone who does D.Ot work for Respondent is receiving mail on behalf 

of the Respondent at the Respondent's business address and nor should it matter. 

Moreover, the fust time that RespCAUdent alerted Complainant that "service was not proper," 

was in an emait2 dated May 23, 2014. A follow-up email from the same individual stated that the 

person who received service ''is not an emp)oyee, but a friend and he has his own small business 

selling spices." What was not explained is why this pe~son's business is ope:ating from the same 

address as Global Arms. Respondent also does not indicate what date this friend actually handed 

the Final Notice to Respondent and why there was a delay considering this individual supposedly 

works in the very sam.e building. 

52 l Respondent refers to a 1'Notice of Proposed civil Pepa..lty,rr but Complaina:o.t 

53 aseumes RS:spondent meant to reference t.he '\E''inal Notice of Proposed Civil 

Penalty." 

::! Sent by Vincent Williams who identified himself as the son of tb.e Presid.ent 

c~ the Company, Davia carl ~lilliams.

2 That is o,either here nor there though. The only relevant inquiry here is whether the Final 

3 Notic~ was in fact properly addressed and Respondent bas already conceded that it was.

CONCLUSION 

PAGE 03/04 

7 Complainant properly served the Final Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty on Respondent on 

s March 14,2014 and Respondent had unti1April3, 20143 to appeaL Respondent failed to do so and 

9 therefore Respondent's motion asking for a hearing to be granted should be denied as the time to 

1 o request a hearing has long si!lce passed.
