OFFICE OF HEARINGS 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

IN THE MATTER OF 

CHRISTINE CLOUD 

FDMS NO. FAA-2014-0321 

(Civil Penalty Action) 

AGENCY'S MOTIONS TO DEEM ALLEGATIONS ADMITTED AND FOR A 

DECISION 

The Complainant moves for an Order deeming admitted each allegation in Sections I and II 

of the complaint. The basis for this motion is that Respondent failed to answer the complaint 

within 30 days 1 of the date on which it was served. In accordance with§ 13.209(t) of the Rules 

of Practice in FAA Civil Penalty Actions, 14 C.F.R, Part 13, Subpart G, unless Respondent 

demonstrates that there is good cause for this failure, it constitutes an admission of the truth of 

each allegation contained in the complaint. This motion is based on the following facts: 

I. Complainant served the complaint on Respondent by certified mail, return receipt 

requested, on June 3, 2014.2 

2, Included at the end ofthe complaint is a notice informing Respondent of the requirement 

to submit an answer within 30 days of service and the fact the failure to do so, without good 

cause, constitutes an admission of the truth of each allegation in the complaint. 

3. Respondent received the complaint on Juoe 6, 2014.3 

4. Included in the Procedural Order served on Juoe 13, 2014, is another statement regarding 

the requirement to submit an answer within 30 days of the service of the complaint. 

5. To date Respondent has not submitted an answer. 

1 Because the complaint was served by mail, Respondent had 11n additional five days. 14 C.F.R. § 13.2ll(e). 

'See Exhibit A, which is a copy of Complainant's file copy ofthe cover letter and the PS Fonns 3800, Certified 

Mail Receipts, for the cover letter and complaint sent to Respondent and the Hearing Docket. 3 See Exhibit B, which is 11 copy of the PS Fonns 3811, Domestic Return Receipt, showing Respondent 1

S receipt on 

June 6, 2014.

Because the complaint was served on Respondent by mail on June 3, 2014, she had until July 

8, 2014, to submit an answer. She is already 7 days late, and this period is still growing. Unless 

Respondent can demonstrate good cause for the entire period of this failure,§ 13.209(!) requires 

that each allegation in the complaint be deemed admitted. Absent such a showing of good cause, 

Complainant is entitled to what it now seeks-an Order deeming admitted each allegation in 

Sections I and II of the complaint. In the Matter of Air Florida Express, Inc., FAA Order No. 

2002-9 (Aprill5, 2002); In the Matter of Ronald Burger, FAA Order No. 2002-8 (Aprill5, 

2002), 

On the assumption that Respondent cannot demonstrate good cause for her failure to timely 

submit an answer, Complainant moves for a decision with respect to the violations alleged in 

paragraph III, 1 of the complaint. The basis for this motion is that with the allegations in Sections 

I and II of the complaint deemed admitted, there is no genuine issue as to a material fact, and the 

Complainant is entitled as a matter of law to an Order finding that Respondent violated the 

regulations as alleged in paragraph III.! of the complaint.4 

Respectfully submitted this 15th day of July 2014. 

HOWARD L. MARTIN, JR 

Regional Counsel 

By:m Glenn H. Brown ~ Attorney 

4 If the allegations in Sections [and U of the complaint are deemed admitted and this marion for decision is granted, 

the only remaining issue will be the amount of any civil penalty.
