2. Respondent would show this court that on or about August 13, 2015 Federal Aviation 

Administration, Curt Cowley and Terry Juan inspected the aircraft maintenance records of 

Supercub N949JP owned by Respondent. They were allowed unrestricted access to the aircraft 

logbooks without distraction, and found the records were well organized and complete, back to 

the birth of the aircraft. The records did not appear to be altered or edited in any way. No 

discrepancies were noted, and the aircraft appeared to be airworthy at the time of the accident. 

(Attached hereto is Exhibit 2 An Email from David F. Shayne to Ames Research, dated October 

14, 2015 with confirmation that the records have been produced and examined to satisfaction 

by Billy J. McKibbon, Portland Flight Standards FAA with attached Speed Memo EIR NO. 

2014NM090046, Lost Logs.) 

3. In addition, Respondent would show this court that on or about August 9, 2016 there was a 

litigation scheduled conference via telephone in the above-entitled matter and commenced on 

August 9, 2016 at 1:34 p.m. before The Honorable J.E. Sullivan U.S. Administrative Law Judge. 

On page 14 of the transcript of this telephone conference The Honorable J.E. Sullivan U.S. 

Administrative Law Judge addresses the FAA attorney David Shayne to identify the actual date 

that the allegation commences as a single violation with a date of on or about in the Initial 

Disclosure Statement that was served on or about August 11, 2016. (Attached hereto as Exhibit 

3 is page 14 Lines 8-25 and page 15, lines 1-2 of the transcript of the telephone conference of 

August 9, 2016 before the HonorableJ.E. Sullivan U.S. Administrative law Judge.) Respondent 

would show the court that the FAA's Initial Disclosure filed on or about August 10, 2016 does 

not identify the actual date of the alleged violation by Respondent and would further request 

that this action be dismissed. (Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 Complainant's initial Disclosure 

Pursuant to the AU's Order of August 10, 2016 and FRCP 26 (1(a).)

4. Respondent would show the court that the FAA has not provided Respondent with the 

Enforcement Investigation Report that The Honorable J.E. Sullivan U.S. Administrative Law Judge 

addressed with the FAA Attorney David Shayne on August 9, 2016 during the telephone 

conference and would show the court that FAA attorney David Shayne answered the court that 

"it was no problem" to provide the Enforcement Investigation Report to Respondent. 

Respondent would request the court to dismiss the above referenced matter for lack of 

providing Respondent with the Enforcement Investigation Report by the FAA. (Attached hereto 

as Exhibit 5 is page 48 lines 22-25 and page 49 lines 1-3 of the transcript of the telephone 

conference of August 9, 2016 before the Honorable J.E. Sullivan U.S. Administrative law Judge.) 

5. Respondent would show the court that the FAA has never given an explanation of why they are 

proposing an $11,000.00 fine as the penalty, and what forms the basis for the maximum amount 

allowed. Respondent would request the court to dismiss the above referenced matter for lack 

of explanation and basis of the maximum amount allowed. (Attached hereto as Exhibit 6 is page 

32 Lines 18-21 of the transcript of the telephone conference of August 9, 2016 before the 

Honorable J.E. Sullivan U.S. Administrative law Judge.) 

6. Respondent would show the court that the FAA has not met the burden of proof as the moving 

party bringing this action before the court against Respondent because of lack of proving that 

the imposed fine of $11,000.00 truly reflects the magnitude and scope of time period where the 

records were lost and not available to the FAA for inspection. Respondent would show the 

court that in Complainant's Initial Disclosures Pursuant to the AU's Order of August 10, 2016 

and FRCP 26(1(a) that document 2014NM090046 clearly states that on July 7, 2014 and August 

28, 2014 Respondent sent copies of the documents that were requested of him to the FAA.

William A. Curtright 

Respondent 

Telephone: {S03)209-7388

would request the court to dismiss the above referenced matter because Respondent did 

provided the FAA with the documentation that they requested within 6 days of the requested 

materials as requested in the letter dated July 1, 2014 to William Ames Curtright from Martin G. 

Conroy Aviation Safety Inspector. (Attached hereto as Exhibit 8 is the letter from Martin G. 

Conroy Aviation Safety Inspector to William Ames Curtright, dated July 1 2014.) 

7. Respondent would show the court that the FAA hindered this case by not disclosing to Martin 

G. Conroy that the documents were produced on July 7, 2014 as stated in the letter from Dr. W. 

Ames Curtright to Martin G. Conroy, dated September 9, 2014 RE: EIR Number 2014NM090046 

with attachments. (Attached hereto as Exhibit 9 is the letter from Dr. W. Ames Curtright to 

Martin G. Conroy, dated September 9, 2014 with attached documents: Oregon Aircraft 

Registration Certificate, and Memorandum from Ben W. Davidson to William Ames Curtright, 

dated 8/26/2014.) Respondent would request that this court dismiss this action for lack of 

evidence that Respondent did not provided the documentation that was requested of 

Respondent. 

8. Respondent would show the court that the FAA Complaint states that Respondent violated 

Section 91.417 (c) ofthe Federal Aviation regulations 14 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) 

which the section reads as follows: 

Respondent would show the court that the records themselves do not need to, and arguably 

should not be, stored on the aircraft, but must be produced for inspection in a reasonable 

amount of time when requested by the FAA, NTSB or law enforcement. See 14 C.F.R. 

91.417(c): The owner or operator shall make all maintenance required to be kept by this section 

available for inspection by the Administrator or any authorized representative ofthe National 

Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

case. And not taking into account inflation, 

the answer is yes. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Thank you. 

So in staying with the complaint for 

just a moment, and I'm on the first page, 

which is identified as page 2 at the bottom of 

the page, and it asserts that the allegation 

arose out of a July I, 2014 demand from the 

FAA for certain documentation and logbooks, 

and as a result the continuing violation or 

the violation was initiated as ofJuly I, 2014 

or some other date? 

MR. SHAYNE: I hadn't thought about 

that, frankly, because as I said before, 

although we could have treated it as a 

continuing violation, you know, we decided to 

treat it as a single unitary violation. 

But in terms of the commencement, you 

know, when did the violation occur is when 

Mr. Curtright was served either actually 

constructively with the letter that was sent 

out on July !st. You know, there is a-- I 

think the law provides for a five-day, you 

know, assumption that a letter is delivered 

within five days. So when I was going back 

and reading the file, I don't remember whether 

there was any issue about it being delivered. 

Although as you can see from 

allegation number three, we have evidence that 

Mr. Curtright was well aware of the FSDO --

I'm sorry, that's Flight Standard District 

Office. We often use the term shorthand FSDO. 

JUDGE SULLIV 1\N: Okay. Well, let me 

go back to you, Mr. Shayne. What I'd like to 

have you do is in your initial disclosure 

status is to identify the actual date that the 

allegation commences as a single violation if 

it's-- if you want to confirm that it's on or 

about July I, 2014 or you want to identify it 

on or about July 6, 2014. If you would just 

nail that down for all of us. 

MR. SHAYNE: At this moment or later? 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: No, as part of your 

initial disclosures. 

MR. SHAYNE: Later. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Yes. We'll talk 

about the date or deadline for initial 

disclosures in a moment. Now, l'm just ask!ng 

you to be sure that you perfect your 

complaining record so that we all knovv· and

it's clearly eslablished by esrly in the 

action. 

So Jet's talk a little bit more about 

your July22nd, 2016 proposed schedule. You 

had talked about initial written discovery 

requests to be served with some response time 

and so forth. 

About bow much -- assuming for the 

sake of argument that there's no resolution to 

any issues that are currently on the table, 

either by agreement or by dispositive motion, 

how much hearing time do you think this case 

would take and \vhere do you think it should be 

held? 

MR. SHAYNE: First of all, in all 

deference and clue respect, Your Honor, it's 

difficult for me lo say with any exactitude 

what-- how long it would take to try a 

hearing, as I have not had the-- I have not 

had the privilege of trying a case before Your 

Honor. 

And it's been my experience as a 

litigator for 26 years, every judge is 

different and two judges can have the same 

case and, you know, give very different 

results. The other part of that, of course, 

at this point in time I have no idea what 

Mr. Curtright is going to present for a 

defense. 

What I can say is with fair certainty 

I don't think my case will take more than two 

hours at most to present my case-in-chief 

barring anything unusual or unforeseen. 

JUDGESULLIVAN: Sure. 

MR. SHAYNE: As far as venue is 

concerned, we didn't-- usually those things 

get resolved earlier on. I didn't realize 

that was an open question. 

My witnesses are FAA employees, so 

venue is less of' an important issue to us and 

I don't remember where Mr. Curtright lives. 

But if he has a request for venue, we could in 

all likelihood agree to what is reasonable. 

JUDGESULLIVAN: Okay. You're 

currently located in Renton, Washington. 

MR. SHAYNE: Yeah, I am. The 

inspectors are in Portland, Oregon. 

JUDGESULLIVAN: Okay. And 

Mr. Curtright is ·-has an address in 

Jefferson, Oregon. So it's likely that we're

Mr. Curtright, is two primary concerns and I 

want you to correct me if! get these wrong. 

Number one, you think that the prosecutor 

should not have charged you with this incident 

and, number two, if the prosecutor had used 

his discretion, that the charge is accompanied 

with an inappropriately high fine. Would 

those be your two primary issues? 

MR. CURTRIGHT: Inappropriately high 

fine would be one and wrongful prosecution as 

one that concerns me in reference to going 

after other pilots that might have the same 

problems and then will have attorneys that 

supply them with, you know, stuff like that. 

I see this. This is the principle of the 

thing, Your Honor. 

JUDGE SULL!V AN: I actually had that 

pm1icular defense raised before. Someone 

else has come. Interestingly enough someone 

else who was a Vietnam veteran raising the 

defense that because he thought other people 

had committed the same violation and hadn't 

been charged, that he should not have been 

charged, that it was wrong. 

And it is creative and I tip my hat to 

you. It's a creative argument, but I don't 

believe there's legal authority to support it 

because -- and I'm going to give you another 

roadside analogy. 

A police officer who's sitting in his 

cruiser on the side of the road may not be 

able to stop everybody who is speeding past 

him. But when he does stop a car and he stops 

them because they were speeding and he has the 

ability to prove that, they have to defend 

that allegation, against that allegation, and 

the defense that there were other people who 

were speeding and who did not get stopped 

doesn't have legal authority to support a 

dismissal. 

If you can find legal authority at 

this particular arena, you're welcome to look. 

I certainly have addressed this before and the 

parties who were appearing before me were not 

able to find anything nor was I, but you're 

certainly welcome to look independently. 

Typically the law finds for the 

prosecutor's discretion to charge and the 

prosecutor may charge or may not charge and 

it's a discretionary call that cannot be

second guessed by this Court. 

But I'm going to suggest to you that 

you look into that particular prong of--

since it is of in teres! to and what we should 

probably do is JUSt do an initial disclosure 

exchange and then have a second conference to 

talk about the specifics of the rest of the 

discovery schedule because we're running out 

oftime. 

And I am going to also suggest that it 

is impot1ant to remember that in litigation 

you have to wear several hats, especially when 

you represent yourself, and one of your hats 

is a litigation hat where you're preparing for 

litigation and one of your hats is always a 

settlement hat where you're also looking at 

how to reso1ve issues. 

If you were, Mr. Curtright, 

represented by counsel, your counsel certainly 

would be addressing both simultaneously. 

That's good litigation practice. 

So you want to look at Mr. Shayne and 

not only your honored opponent and the 

litigation itself, but also as your friend 

across the aisle for any settlement 

discussions that you might privately want to 

have with him about money issues in 

particular. 

And setllement discussions may occur 

at any time and I never need to know about 

them, but it behooves you to always keep that 

door open or at least ajar as we talk about 

these other issues at the same time. 

So, Mr. CuJtright, you have wanted an 

extension far beyond August 19, 2016 for the 

exchange of :~itial disclosures. Since you're 

going to be doing a little research at the 

same time, why don't we do this and just say 

initial disclosLJ.res should be exchanged no 

later than September 9, 2016. That is the 

name, address, phone number, if you have it, 

of ai!lyone you know that might have information 

that's helpful to the charge or to the 

proposed fine and the identity or the actual 

copy of the document, of any documents that 

you think migl:Jt be helpful 

And, Mr. Shayne, since Mr. Cmtright 

never retained ALtorney Flaherty, I'm going to 

ask you to di:ectly send to Mr. Curtright the 

enfOrcemf,nt investigative report that you --

MR. SHAYNE: Your Honor, it's no 

problem. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN. Okay. Thank you. 

Now, Mr. Shayne, for your private 

discussion and exchanges, do you want to use 

E-mail or would you prefer to have U.S. 

mailing or fax? 

MR. SHAYNE: Well, we have no 

objection to using E-mail. We can I guess --

I'm sorry, let me ask for clarification of 

that. Is Your Honor talking about 

communications with the Court or 

communications between the parties? 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: No. For your private 

communication with Mr. Curtright when you 

exchange discovery. Do you have a preference 

so that everybody knows? This Court cannot 

accept any kind of E-mail filings. We don't 

have any E-mail server. 

MR. SHAYNE: Understood, Your Honor. 

I'm aware of that. E-mail is fine for me. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Mr. Cmiright --

MR. SHAYNE: Whatever Mr. Cmiright 

wants. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Mr. CUitright, 

what's your preference? 

MR. CURTRIGHT: Oh, I think I've had 

difficulties on the E-mails going back and 

forth with Mr. Shane because he's out of the 

office a lot. Anyway, I'm out guite a bit 

this next month, too, as well, so this is my 

worst time of the year, but I think by mail is 

good. 

The last minute stuff on the E-mail, 

minor communications, is fine on E-mail. So 

anyway, okay. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Well, I would 

encourage you both to exercise your best 

efforts to get this exchanged early as opposed 

to last minute and you're welcome to utilize 

E-mail, fax and the U.S. mail as you deem fit, 

and then why don't we schedule a new telephone 

conference shortly after September 9, 2016, so 

that we can talk about what's left to do and 

why. 

Mr. Shayne, starting with you, I'm 

going to look at my calendar for the week of 

early September 19 or 20. Do you have time 

available on either ofthose two days for a 

second litigation scheduling conference?

MR. SHAYNE: I do, Your Honor. 

JU[)GE SULLIVAN: Okay. Mr. Cmtright, 

same question to you) sir. 

MR. CURTRIGHT: Okay. Rephrase the 

question What's on the 19th did you say? 

JU[}GE SULLIVAN: I'm looking at the 

days ofivlonday, September 19,2016, and 

Tuesday, September 20, 2016, to schedule 

another ·- a I itigation scheduling conference. 

Do you have time available on either of those 

two days? 

MR CURTRIGHT: I think it would be 

better for us, Your Honor, if it could be more 

like maybe Friday. Is that possible? 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: I am not available on 

Friday. 

MR CURTRIGHT: How about the 22nd, 

would that work? 

JUDGE SULLJVAN: I'm not available on 

the 22nd I'm giving you the dates that I'm 

available. !hat's what's happening. 

MR CURTRIGHT: Then, okay, I am going 

to write you a brief. Okay. I guess that's 

the way it is. Your Honor, I'm at your -- I'm 

going to have to say that you're in charge, 

right? 

52 

JUD>GE SULLIVAN: Oh, yes. Do you have 

time available? The question to you, 

Mr. Curiright, is do you have time open on 

your calendar on either day? 

MR. CURTRIGHT: I'll make time 

available, say afternoon, would that be around 

3:00 our time, Oregon time? 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: I have --I'm on the 

East Coast and so ifl'm scheduling something 

in the afternoon, it's usually in late morning 

for you. So, for example, right now it's 20 

to 3:00 my time. 

MR. CURTRIGHT: Yeah, right. So on my 

time would be -- oh, I see. Okay. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: I'm ahead of you. So 

if! schedule this at I :30 on Tuesday, the 

20th, that would be 10:30 in the morning your 

time. Could you be available for something on 

that date and time? 

MR. CURTRJGHT: Okay. 10:30. 

JUDGE SULLIVAN: Well, it's 10:30 your 

time, but l'm going to use East Coast time for 

everything in my order. So it's going to say 

1:30 p.m., East Coast time.

2 EIR. 2 JUDGESULLIVAN: Okay. Thankyou. 

3 MR. CURTRIGHT: Your Honor. 3 Well, then let's talk a little bit 

4 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. To who was 4 about discovery. Do you know what I am 

5 that -- what attorney was that at that time? 5 talking about when I refer to discovery, what 

6 MR. SHAYNE: Thomas Flaherty, 6 that means? 

7 FLAHERTY. 7 MR. C\IRTRIGHT: Yes, Your Honor. 

8 MR. CURTRIGHT: Your Honor. 8 understand that there's --that you require 

9 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Excuse me, 9 information to be sent that I might have as 

10 Mr. Curtright, if you would just-- 10 discovery. 

11 MR. CURTRIGHT: I have no other 11 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Do you have 

12 attorney, Your Honor. 12 some experience, then, in litigation in some 

13 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Please be patient and 13 other forum that would help assist you in this 

14 1 will get back to you. 14 proceeding? 

15 Mr. Shayne, when did Mr. Flaherty 15 MR. CURTRIGHT: Very little, Your 

16 withdraw? 16 Honor. 

17 MR. SHAYNE: I don't know that I ever 17 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Was it in a 

18 got any formal notification. I only know that 18 civil case by any chance, because there's 

19 when I called him to discuss the case, he 19 different types of rules that attach to --

20 informed me he's no longer representing 20 MR. CURTRIGHT: No, Your Honor, I 

21 Mr. Cmtright. 21 haven't been in a lot of battles, so. 

22 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Thank you. 22 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. All right. 

23 Getting back to you, Mr. Curtright, 23 Well, initial disclosures is a form of 

24 can you tell me what familiarity you have, if 24 discovery where parties provide each other 

25 any, with the Rules of Civil Procedure or the 25 with certain in formation without being asked, 

30 32 

I FAA Rules of Practice? I and the initial disclosures that I'm talking 

2 MR. CURTRIGHT: Your Honor, I have no 2 about are outlined in Rule 26 of the Federal 

3 experience in that matter. Also, I'd like to 3 Rules of Civil Procedure and that's something 

4 add that I have had no other attorney. So if 4 you can find on line if you type in Rules of 

5 he was communicating with an attorney, it was 5 Civil Procedure, Rule 26. 

6 not with my authorization. 6 But just so you know, when you do 

7 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. So you don't 7 initial disclosures, and I'm going to give you 

8 know a Thomas Flaherty and he was never hired 8 both a deadlin< to exchange infonnation of 

9 to act for you. 9 this type, you give the name, address and 

10 MR. CURTRIGHT: He was never hired, 10 phone number of each individual that you know 

11 Your Honor. I talked to Mr. Flaherty for 11 that's likely to have discoverable information 

12 about 20 minutes and that was my only 12 about the charge involved in this case. 

13 conversation and off he went. So anyway -- on 13 You give a copy or a description of 

14 his own and I informed him that he was not my 14 the document of anything that you have in your 

15 attorney and I informed the FAA that he was 15 possession, custody or control that has 

16 not my attorney. 16 anything to do with this particular charge and 

17 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Did Mr. Flaherty ever 17 the proposed fine. 

18 advise you that he had contacted the FAA and 18 And forthc FAA, they also should be 

19 asked for material on your behalf? 19 giving you an explanation of why they are 

20 MR. CURTRIGHT: Yes, he did, but he 20 proposing $11 ,000 as the penalty, what tlmns 

21 was never -- he was informed he's not working 21 the basis for!hat. 

22 for me, so Mr. Flaherty did so on his own. 22 Those are the initial disclosures to 

23 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Did he ever 23 get the ball rolling so that you have an idea 

24 forward that information to you? 24 of who is involved or who might be involved as

Re: EIR Number 2014NM090046 

Dear Sir: 

As explained via email, tne aircraft logs are not in the United States; t~ey are in canada where I 

also live. I am now awaiting the time to repair my aircraft repair. In ~rderto meet your request, 

1 have emailed the remaining docum_ents a.M the Certification of Annual Inspection as requested 

to the Portland office_. 

All other documents have been provided to you as requested. Is it po55ible your people have 

nat opened your emails to check the attachments? They were sent to your Portland office. If 

you are still missing something let us know. 

We have provided a letter from the mechanic who dld the annual certification inspection. We 

recently emailed the weight and balance but again we will mail it to you. 

The event was on my private property. It took place after landing; there was a steering problem 

because of a collapsed gear which caused a breaking to the left. The aircraft was not airborne 

but inertill and the rail on tiJe floats pulll;!d the aircraft to the left and into the grass, thus, our 

description of the event which damaged the aircraft, 

Your letters indicate you have never received any of this information which is troubling. 

We have provided you the aircraft weight and balance, a.irworthiness registration certificate, 

and documentation with the flight review requirements and all the documents you requested, 

yet you people act as if you never received those items. 

We have provided to you the documents in a spirit of cooperation. Again, we hope this meets 

yaur needs ahd pray this brings closure for us both.

Please. see attached. As you might recall you took a picture of the air-worthiness certificate when you came out, want 

me til. take another picture for you? it that was tape(! in the c;ockpit on t!le wall. 

Airworthiness, wet damaged reordered fresh ()ne, lli'AnnOal copy from log. 

I proVided a .mediCal certificate to you at the time, and 1 have a fresh New Medical exam last week. 

1 feel sad for the People that were lostatthe toast. It's a hard Job, your Job. The pain you see 1 cannot imagine. Thanks 

for your service and for your past service in the military. 

As 1 stood on my hill on the fourth of July watching the explosions of fireworks frorn all side.s. It reminded me of Viet 

Nam of Shens going off, of cannon file, and. the roUing thunder of Armageddon. 

It was different for me that night, it gave m.e thoughts of what was to come if we do not change the course of our 

country. 

Good Luck to you and God blessings.
