FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, } Complainant, } } V. } } FISHER SCIENTIFIC COMPANY, LLC, } Respondent. } Inthe Matter ofFisher Scientific Company, LLC DocketNo. FAA-2015-1321 (Civil Penalty Action) Judge Rawald

FISHER SCIENTIFIC REQUEST FORAN EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO ORDER ISSUED MAY 17, 2016, BUT NEVER SERVED ON RESPONDENT On June 1, 2016, Respondent received a copy ofCOMPLAINANT'S RESPONSE TO SHOWCAUSE ORDER. Itreferenced an Order by Judge Rawald dated May 17,2016, but it did not include a copy ofthat Order. In addition, the Order was never servedon Respondent.
Because counsel for Respondent has never seen the Order, Respondent is unaware whetherthe Judge expects any response from it as well as from FAA. Counsel has been in touch with staffin the Office ofHearings andpointed out that some materials from that office in other cases were notmailed until several days after the "SERVED" date at the top ofother Judges' orders and that addresses ofrecipients routinely have been insecurely scotch-taped to envelopes. This type of improper service might also be the case with respect to the May 17 Order. Respondent therefore requests receipt ofthe May 17 Order and an extension oftime to June 14, 2016, to file any response that the Ordermay require or allow. Meanwhile, the undersigned counsel has**~** for at least the fifth time

- requested as recently as yesterday a meeting with Southern Regional Counsel to discuss substantive issues inthe case. The assigned attorney has not returned voice messages or emails repeating that request.ReportofFisher Scientific

WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests the Judge to serve the May 17 Order onits counsel and extend the time for any response that may be required or allowed to June 14,2016
