ORDER GRANTING BRIEF CONTINUANCE OF ORAL ARGUMENT . 

AND GRANTING/DENYING OTHER RELIEF 

. On July 31, 2012 an Order Setting Litigation Dates and Procedures was filed. Among 

other things this Order directed the Respondent to file, on or before Octoper 12, 2012, any/all 

legal memoranda or written factual/legal argument(s) in support of the Respondent's affirmative 

defense to the FAA's Motion for Hearing on Sanction Only. This July 31,2012 Order also set 

an October 23, 2012 Telephone Motion Conference for oral argument on the FAA's Motion for 

Hearing on Sanction Only. 

On October 23, 2012 the parties appeared by telephone for oral argument on the FAA's 

Motion for Hearing on Sanction Only. During preliminary discussion, the pro se Respondent 

noted that it had been consulting with counsel about this case, and that counsel still had 

possession of the case file. The Respondent also expressed some surprise that the oral argument 

set for today was to address whether or not the FAA had submitted sufficient proof to support all 

or some ofthe sixteen (16) alleged violations, and therefore potentially limit the January 2012 

hearing to only the issue of how much penalty should be assessed for violations proved. 

Having reviewed the case file, all pleadings and motions, all relevant caselaw, statutes, 

regulations, rules, and authority, and being fully advised;
