ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL 2 

On August 27, 2012, Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Richard C. Goodwin 

issued a written initial decision assessing Respondent Cornerstone Aviation, Inc. 

a $6,500 civil penalty. 

On September 6, 2012, Complainant FAA filed a notice of appeal from the ALJ' s 

decision. 

Under the Rules of Practice, Complainant had a total of 55 days to perfect its 

appeal by filing an appeal brief- i.e., Complainant had 50 days from the ALJ' s decision 

under 14 C.F.R. § 13.233(c), plus 5 additional days under the "mailing rule" in 14 C.P.R. 

§ 13.2ll(e). 

Fifty-five days from the ALJ's decision dated August 27, 2012, was October 22, 

2012. 

Thus, the deadline for Complainant to perfect its appeal by filing an appeal brief 

was October 22, 2012.

§ 13.233(d)(2).3
