[Docket No. 97–15]

Notice of Filing of Compliant and

Assignment

Orient Overseas Container Line (USA), Inc.

and Orient Overseas Container Line v. Dollar

American Exchange, Inc. Trading as Filex,

Inc.

Notice is given that a complaint filed

by Orient Overseas Container Line

(USA), Inc. and Orient Overseas

Container Line (‘‘Complainants’’)

against Dollar American Exchange, Inc.

trading as Filex, Inc. (‘‘Respondents’’)

was served September 2, 1997.

Complainants allege that Respondents

have violated section 10(a)(1) of the

Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app.

§ 1709(a)(1), (b)(5), by failing to make

payment on several shipments after

making repeated promises to pay and

asking Complainants to continue to

accept shipments even though

Respondents were in serious financial

peril and it was unlikely that payment

would ever be made, and abandoning

containers in Manila, accruing unpaid

demurrage.

This proceeding has been assigned to

the office of Administrative Law Judges.

Hearing in this matter, if any is held,

shall commence within the time

limitations prescribed in 46 CFR 502.61,

and only after consideration has been

given by the parties and the presiding

officer to the use of alternative forms of

dispute resolution. The hearing shall

include oral testimony and crossexamination in the discretion of the

residing officer only upon proper

showing that there are genuine issues of

material fact that cannot be resolved on

the basis of sworn statements, affidavits,

depositions, or other documents or that

the nature of the matter in issue is such

that an oral hearing and crossexamination are necessary for the

development of an adequate record.

Pursuant to the further terms of 46 CFR

502.61, the initial decision of the

presiding officer in this proceeding shall

be issued by September 2, 1998, and the

final decision of the Commission shall

be issued by December 31, 1998.

Joseph C. Polking,

Secretary.
