RE: Proposed Civil Penalty 2013NM130029 

August 1 0, 2014 

Dear Hearing Docket Clerk 

ANM7 PAGE 08/09 

I request a hearing as it appears my first letter was ignored, mi.splaced or misunderstood. 

The content of my original letter is below in Italics for your review and information 

relative to the proposed penalty. 

Again, it is a mute point as I am in a Chapter 11 proceeding and about to convert it to a 

Chapter 7 proceeding in the ensning weeks. 

Due to 3 upcoming trials and pieces of litigation, I am unavaibble through about January 

25, 20~ase sc. d::?~Z- /~ PGoo '""' ' :::- L__ 

Pervious letter sent July 10, 2014 follows: 

I am in receipt of your proposed Civil Penalty. I disagree with your proposed civil 

pe12alty, but it may be a moot point. 

I did not act in my individual capacity relative to all of the issues raised in the proposed 

civil penalty, but again it may bii' a moot pointe 

I appeal any decision to impose such a penalty. 
08/21/2014 05:41 4252271007 ANM7 

What is even more troublesome is this appears robe continued political retribution .from 

my Yakima case stemming from the wrongful eviction, as determined by the Division III 

Court of Appeals, of Noland Decato, termination of the ground lease and subsequent 

termination of the Through the Fence provision o,( the lease. 

I believe careful examination of the evidence will show this wc1s politically driven and 

those that know me know I have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. I do not want to 

spend allot of my time, or your time, on a dead end case ofdisrovery and public 

disclosure requests. 

This wrongfUl eviction and unfair business practices is a direct violation of Title 14, 

Section 16 of the Federal Aviation Grants and Assurances. This seems to be a bigger fish 

to fry, but who gives a crap about a small business pe1·son as (;ollateral damage of a 

political agenda. 

PAGE 09/09 

As I stated, all of this is a moot pQint. I have been forced, by lhe above aforementioned 

activities, into a personal Chapter 11 proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court 

for the Eastern District of Washington, Case 14-009.1 5-FLKJ I. 

!would think rises to the requirement of section 4 Title 49 USC Section 46301 for 

reconsideration as 1 am unable to pay anyfine at this point. 

If you want to proceed, please advise and I will provide evidence that supports that the 

Civil Penalty is improper to impose on me personally. 

llookfonvard to a quick resolution that is the best interest of.rhe FAA and myself, not to 

mention the Yakima Air Terminal banditos,
