FAA DOCKET NO. [TO BE ASSIGNED] 

(Civil Penalty Proceeding) 

FDMS NO. FAA-2012-0468 

ORDER REASSIGNING PROCEEDING 

The parties having filed their pleadings, agreed on a procedural schedule, 1 and completed 

exchange of proposed witness lists in .this and the companion case, 2 the issue of a hearing site 

remains. 3 Respondent requests Washington, DC, for both cases, citing convenience to the judge, 

Respondent's Counsel, and a key witness in Florida.4 Citing convenience of three of its 

witnesses, Complainant requests Honolulu but suggests a compromise location of Los 

Angeles. 5 Since the incidents in the two cases were in Miami and Hawaii, we conclude that the 

balance of regulatory considerations favors Honolulu or Los Angeles. 6 

In the interest of judicial efficiency, the above-captioned proceeding is reassigned from 

the undersigned to Administrative Law Judge Richard C. Goodwin. All future pleadings and 

1 Proposed Procedural Schedule, Statement Regarding Settlement Efforts, and Proposed Hearing Site at 2 (June 

22, 2012) ("Parties' Report"). 2 Another case involving Respondent is docketed under Federal Docket Management System ("FDMS") Docket 

No. FAA-2012-0469. Though the certificate of service for Complainant's Proposed Witness List (Nov. 30, 2012), 

indicates service on the Hearing Docket Clerk, only Respondent's Proposed Witness List appears in the Federal 

Docket Management System. Complainant's Counsel should contact the Hearing Docket Clerk to correct this 

deficiency.
