In the Matter of Fisher 

Scientific Company, LLC 

Docket No. F AA-2015-1321 

(Civil Penalty Action) 

Judge Rawald 

FISHER SCIENTIFIC REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME 

TO RESPOND TO ORDER ISSUED MAY 17, 2016, BUT 

NEVER SERVED ON RESPONDENT 

On June 1, 2016, Respondent received a copy of COMPLAINANT'S RESPONSE TO SHOWCAUSE ORDER. It referenced an Order by Judge Rawald dated May 17,2016, but it did not 

include a copy of that Order. In addition, the Order was never served on Respondent. 

Because counsel for Respondent has never seen the Order, Respondent is unaware whether the 

Judge expects any response from it as well as from FAA. Counsel has been in touch with staff in 

the Office of Hearings and pointed out that some materials from that office in other cases were 

not mailed until several days after the "SERVED" date at the top of other Judges' orders and that 

addresses of recipients 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 of the May 17 Order and an extension of time to June 14, 

2016, to file any response that the Order may 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 in the case. 

The assigned attorney has not returned voice messages or emails repeating that request. 
Report of Fisher Scientific 

WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests the Judge to serve the May 17 Order on its 

counsel and extend the time for any response that may be required or allowed to June 14,2016 .
