4 understand, Ms. Toscano, on your line? 

5 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, sir. 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: And also, Mr. 

7 Rumberger, are you there? 

8 MR. RUMBERGER: Yes, sir. I am, Your 

9 Honor. 

10 JUDGE RAWALD: And Then we also have 

11 a listener in from Seattle, is that right? 

12 MS. FONG: Yes, sir. This is Alexi 

13 Fong. 

14 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, and do we have a 

15 court reporter? 

16 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, sir. We do. 

17 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. I'm also joined

1 0639. Today's date is January 17th, 2017. This 

2 is Administrative Judge Rawald. I 'm joined on 

3 the call by government counsel, Lisa Toscano, as 

4 well as the respondent, Mr. Rumberger, who is 

5 without an attorney. On the call for the FAA is 

6 Alexi Fong, with me in my office is my attorney 

7 advisor, Jackie Booker. 

8 Okay, Mr. Rumberger, let's turn to 

9 you. So, last filing I sent out was a denial of 

10 your request to dismiss this case. You had sent 

11 out a letter to me saying, Your Honor, this case 

12 needs to be dismissed for a number of reasons. I 

13 looked at those reasons, looked at the law and 

14 denied your request to dismiss the case, and then 

15 pointed out to you that you had failed, which 

16 would require under the law to answer the 

17 complaint in this case, setting a deadline for 

18 that answer. You did not file an answer even 

19 though you're required to do so. 

20 So, sir, explain to me why you did not 

21 file an answer as told to do so? 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

MR. RUMBERGER: I decided it was past

1 the date because I got the letter from -- or 

2 should I say stamped 11/21 and I didn't get the 

3 letter because it was over Thanksgiving holiday. 

4 I didn't get it until what was a Friday, so 

5 that's kind of an inconvenience when they're 

6 mailed to me over the holidays. I think it was, 

7 things like this get done purposefully, so it 

8 inconvenienced me as well as crippled the case. 

9 JUDGE RAWALD: Sir, we are now in 

10 January 17th, 2017, 45 days after you received 

11 that letter. You have yet to file anything. So 

12 why didn't you write me a letter? We discussed 

13 previously when I had a phone conversation with 

14 you folks in the summer that to not respond at 

15 all would be the wrong course of action. You 

16 have filed nothing, sir! So what have you done 

17 in 45 days? 

18 MR. RUMBERGER: Your Honor, as I 

19 state, basically I leave next week for 

20 proceedings and whatnot. I think I didn't 

21 realize -- you're saying that you said that no 

22 response at all was --

1 JUDGE RAWALD: No, I said it prior in 

2 November. You said you received it on 

3 Thanksgiving weekend and thought it was too late 

4 to do anything, so you did nothing. 

5 MR. RUMBERGER: It said to respond by 

6 November 28th. 

7 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, and so you felt 

8 well the day has passed so I will do nothing? 

9 MR. RUMBERGER: It was the weekend. 

10 JUDGE RAWALD : Sir, sir, sir, sir, 

11 sir. It is January 17th, it has been 45 days 

12 since you received that letter. You have 

13 submitted nothing nor made any phone calls. Why 

14 have you not done so? 

15 MR. RUMBERGER: Because it said 

16 respond by November 28th. 

17 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. And you got the 

18 letter when? 

19 MR. RUMBERGER: Pardon me? 

20 JUDGE RAWALD: And when did you 

21 receive the letter, sir? 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

MR. RUMBERGER: I received the letter, 

NEAL R. GROSS

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433

1 I believe it was on the 25th, which is on a 

2 Friday. Because Monday, I believe, was the 28th. 

3 Then there's no way for me to respond to your 

4 letter when it would have been the 28th already 

5 by the time I would have sent it out. 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. 

7 MR. RUMBERGER: At the same time I 

8 started to work on it and I go, there's no leeway 

9 here. I can't get a courtesy or anything. Then 

10 I get all these letters mailed to me at the very 

11 last moment in order for me to respond. I don't 

12 know what kind of games or tricks -- I don't work 

13 like this, I don't do things like this. 

14 JUDGE RAWALD: Sir, are you accusing 

15 me of playing games? 

16 MR. RUMBERGER: I'm saying, you know 

17 

18 JUDGE RAWALD: Sir, are you accusing 

19 me of playing games? 

20 MR. RUMBERGER: No. 

21 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Sir, when I sent 

22 you the letter back, I explained to you what the

NEAL R. GROSS

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
8 

1 rules require; the rules require a response 

2 within ten days. Now, if you had come to me and 

3 written a letter saying, Your Honor, I only had 

4 this letter over Thanksgiving. I need more time, 

5 perhaps I could have done something, but you have 

6 spent the last 45 days not doing anything. Sir, 

7 I made it very clear and our conversation was the 

8 last thing to do, the most incorrect thing to do 

9 was to ignore me. When I issue something, it 

10 needed to be responded to. And I explained to 

11 both you and Ms. Toscano at the time at the fact 

12 that you had both had previously not responded to 

13 my orders for various reasons, was the wrong 

14 thing to do. 

15 All you had to do, sir, was pick up 

16 the phone, there's a phone number on the back of 

17 that letter, and say, hey, this is Kenneth Ray 

18 Rumberger. I just received this letter, what do 

19 I need to do? 

20 MR. RUMBERGER: I didn't realize I had 

21 to have a direct call with you. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

JUDGE RAWALD: Sir, you wouldn't have

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
9 

1 to call me, it's my staff assistant's number, I 

2 had the number there. You could also call Ms. 

3 Toscano, because frankly, as I made it very 

4 clear, I consider you both to be adults and to be 

5 able to discuss the technical matters while you 

6 may not agree with what the FAA is pursuing here. 

7 You can discuss with her, hey, I'm in a bind. 

8 What should I do? Instead, you spent the last 45 

9 days doing nothing. That is the point that I'm 

10 having a difficult time with. If you submitted 

11 an answer later and said, you know what, here's 

12 my answer, but you did not do that. 

13 MR. RUMBERGER: Your Honor 

14 JUDGE RAWALD: Sir, please allow me to 

15 finish what I'm saying. 

16 MR. RUMBERGER: Go right ahead. 

17 JUDGE RAWALD: The concern I have is 

18 I am bound by the rules. I would like to allow 

19 you to respond to this because I think it's 

20 important that we get this, but at the end of the 

21 day, on appeal, the administrator looks at it and 

22 says, well, Mr. Rumberger just won't listen to

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
10 

1 the rules, I won't be able to do anything about 

2 that. So, what I want to hear from you, sir, is 

3 what do you want to do next, Mr. Rumberger? What 

4 do you want? 

5 MR. RUMBERGER: First of all, I'm not 

6 guilty of these allegations and therefore -- I've 

7 tried to do it, but I'm ignorant to these 

8 proceedings. The thing about it is this has put 

9 a hardship on my family. I was due to move two 

10 years ago when this incident happened. 

11 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. 

12 MR. RUMBERGER: I explained that to 

13 Lisa Toscano. This has crippled me, as well as 

14 mentally for me and my family, because I'm 

15 stressed on this, because I don't know how to 

16 proceed because I did have an attorney at one 

17 point in time on this case, which was basically a 

18 waste of my money. I mean, all in all -- like I 

19 said, I'm ignorant to these proceedings. It's 

20 just me, this is taking a hardship on me and my 

21 family, as well as me mentally. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

JUDGE RAWALD: Yes, sir. 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 

Let me 

(202) 234-4433 
11 

1 explain to you what the requirement is to answer 

2 the complaint. Do you have that complaint in 

3 front of you, do you have that document? 

4 MR. RUMBERGER: Yes, I do. 

5 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. As you may know, 

6 the complaint itself is a very short 3-page 

7 document. What is required of you is to look at 

8 each paragraph and either admit, deny or say you 

9 had insufficient information to admit or deny. 

10 So, you look at Paragraph 2 and it says: On or 

11 about November 15th, 2014 at approximately 0800 

12 local, the respondent points a laser at an 

13 aircraft. All you have to do is write your 

14 answer, admit or deny. 

15 MR. RUMBERGER: Denied. 

16 JUDGE RAWALD: Right. Then Paragraph 

17 2, you point later, blah, blah, blah, blah. 

18 You're saying you probably didn't do this, you 

19 would write "deny". Paragraph 3, the beam of 

20 light illuminated the cockpit, you sound like 

21 you're saying deny. Paragraph 4, you sound like 

22 you're saying deny. All you have to do is do

12 

1 that, sir, on a piece of paper and mail that to 

2 my office. I made that very clear and you failed 

3 to do that, sir. 

4 How long would it take you to draft 

5 that letter, sir? 

6 MR. RUMBERGER: A week. 

7 JUDGE RAWALD: It would take you a 

8 week to write a letter that says those four 

9 words, deny, deny, deny? 

• 

10 MR. RUMBERGER: It would have taken 

11 two days and then to mail it off to you and get 

12 it to you. 

13 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. I 1 m not asking 

14 how long it will take for me to receive it, you 

15 cannot control the mail. I 1 m asking how long 

16 would it take for you to write that letter? 

17 MR. RUMBERGER: Two days. 

18 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. So, Mr. 

19 Rumberger, I 1m going to give you until January 

20 20th to write the letter with your answer 

21 admitting or denying the allegations in the 

22 complaint.

13 

1 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

2 JUDGE RAWALD: It must be postmarked 

3 January 20th. 

4 MR. RUMBERGER: Certainly. 

5 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Now, orally you 

7 have given your reason for your good cause here, 

8 which is your basis for not responding, which is: 

9 I received the letter on the Thanksgiving weekend 

10 and then didn't have enough time to do it. 

11 That'll be there for the record, so it'll be in 

12 Ms. Toscano's hands to decide what she wants to 

13 do once we receive the letter, the answer was 

14 untimely. But that will have an answer and we'll 

15 get past that obstacle. 

16 so you, sir, will draft your answer 

17 and put it in the mail to me by this Friday, 

18 January 20th. 

19 MR. RUMBERGER: Of course. 

20 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. So Ms. Toscano, 

21 so Mr. Rumberger will then have met his answer 

22 obligation. 

(202) 234-4433 

From that point you will have to

1 decide how you want to proceed as far as whether 

2 you want to file a motion on it regarding that 

3 answer. What I want to put up, however, is some 

4 deadlines for filing motions since we're here, 

5 okay? 

6 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, Your Honor. With 

7 respect to a copy of the answer that Mr. 

8 Rumberger's going to be filing, can you instruct 

9 Mr. Rumberger to copy me the same answer and mail 

10 it to me as well? 

11 JUDGE RAWALD : Yes, Mr. Rumberger, 

12 anything you mail, and I think this was the 

13 letter before, should be mailed to me, to Ms. 

14 Toscano, and also to the Federal Aviation 

15 Administration their hearing docket, those are 

16 the three people listed at the end of all these 

17 pages. 

18 MR. RUMBERGER: Right, at the end of 

19 the pages. Yes, I believe so, and the Federal 

20 Aviation Administration, right? 

21 JUDGE RAWALD: Send one copy to each 

22 of those three pages, the Federal Aviation

1 Administration the hearing docket, Ms. Toscano in 

2 Los Angeles, and then me here in Washington D.C., 

3 okay? 

4 MR. RUMBERGER: Certainly. 

5 JUDGE RAWALD : Let's talk about the 

6 venue. Now it sounds like when you folks had a 

7 discussion in the summertime, there was some 

8 general agreement that the hearing could be in a 

9 different location, is that right, Ms. Toscano? 

10 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, Your Honor. The 

11 parties agreed that Oakland, California as the 

12 venue would be the best. 

13 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Mr. Rumberger, 

14 does Oakland, California still work for you as 

15 the location for the hearing? 

16 MR. RUMBERGER: Yes, it does. 

17 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Now, Mr. 

18 Rumberger, one of the things that you complained 

19 about in your motion to dismiss is that you had 

20 not received all the discovery that you requested 

21 or that you would want from the government, is 

22 that right?

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
16 

1 MR. RUMBERGER: Well, that I would 

2 receive from Ms. Toscano, right. I believe 

3 there's still testimony of one or two that were 

4 supposedly in the aerocopter and only one of them 

5 took a laser exam, exposure exam. 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: The way this process 

7 works is you need to write a letter to Ms. 

8 Toscano saying, these are the things I want, and 

9 then she has the opportunity to respond to that 

10 letter and provide that material that you're not 

11 provided. Are there things that you think she's 

12 not providing you because she doesn't think you 

13 need them, whereas they do exist, you can then 

14 come to me and say, Your Honor, I've asked for 

15 guidance from Ms. Toscano that she has not 

16 provided and I need your help. 

17 MR. RUMBERGER: Well, I think there's 

18 an issue about the police reports, also, from the 

19 Richmond Police Department. I can go down and 

20 get them. 

21 JUDGE RAWALD: Mr. Rumberger, I'm 

22 going to explain you through the process; the

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 (202) 234-4433 
17 

1 process is to put together in the letter all the 

2 things you want from Ms. Toscano and then mail 

3 that letter off to her. Then she will have the 

4 opportunity to respond to that letter and then if 

5 she did not do these things that you think you 

6 need to then turn to me and say, Your Honor, I 

7 need some help. I've asked you to order her to 

8 provide discovery. And I will look at that and 

9 either order it or deny it depending on what the 

10 item is and why you want it. 

11 So let's talk about the timeline for 

12 doing that. So, Ms. Toscano, do you have 

13 discovery that you're prepared to give to Mr. 

14 Rumberger or are you waiting for a discovery 

15 request at this point? 

16 MS. TOSCANO: I'm waiting for a 

17 discovery request. 

18 

19 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. So, Mr. 

20 Rumberger, I'm going to set a date by which you 

21 must provide a discovery request to Ms. Toscano. 

22 How long would it take you to write a letter to

1 her explaining all the things that you want? 

2 MR. RUMBERGER: All the things that I 

3 need? Probably by the end of the week. I mean, 

4 because --

5 JUDGE RAWALD: I don't want to rush 

6 you, Mr. Rumberger. Do you think that's enough 

7 time or do you want to do it next week? 

8 MR. RUMBERGER: Two weeks, please. 

9 But anytime I send a letter off to Ms. Toscano, I 

10 send a letter off to you as well as the docket? 

11 JUDGE RAWALD: Yes, I want everything 

12 to be accessible to me and Ms. Toscano. 

13 MR. RUMBERGER: Right. 

14 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, so I need 

15 discovery request from the respondent to be filed 

16 by I will say January 31st. 

17 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

18 JUDGE RAWALD: I will send out a 

19 letter tomorrow that will have a list with all 

20 these deadlines. Ms. Toscano, do you have a 

21 discovery request you want to serve to Mr. 

22 Rumberger as well?

1 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, Your Honor. 

2 JUDGE RAWALD: You do? Okay. So, 

3 either party should file their discovery request 

4 with the other by January 31st, 2017. 

5 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: A response to the 

7 discovery request must be made within a month of 

8 receiving those requests, okay? 

9 MR. RUMBERGER: Mm-hmm. 

10 JUDGE RAWALD: Is that sufficient 

11 time, Ms. Toscano, or do you need more time? 

12 MS. TOSCANO: No, that's sufficient. 

13 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, so by February 

14 28th I will require a response to the discovery 

15 request. 

16 MR. RUMBERGER: February 20 -- did you 

17 say February 28th, Your Honor? 

18 JUDGE RAWALD: The 28th, yes, the last 

19 day of February. 

20 MR. RUMBERGER: That's 

21 response, to the request, right?

to our 

(202) 234-4433 
20 

1 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

2 JUDGE RAWALD: Then I'll give you the 

3 initial 30 days and then file a letter with me 

4 requesting that I act upon the discovery, so what 

5 it will say in your report is that any request, 

6 any discovery motion must be filed by March 31st. 

7 And any response to the discovery 

8 motion should be filed on April 30th. 

9 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

10 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Meanwhile, the 

11 plaintiff can file any other motion that they 

12 desire. Any other pre-hearing motions that are 

13 not discovery related, so asking for relief of 

14 any other sort, so including evidence, to ask for 

15 a decision on anything that you wish to have any 

16 sort of relief on should be filed separately by 

17 May 31st. 

18 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

19 JUDGE RAWALD: And in that case, any 

20 other pre-hearing motions that are filed must be 

21 responded to within 30 days. Mr. Rumberger, if 

22 Ms. Toscano files a motion in mid-February, you

1 have 30 days from when she filed that to respond 

2 to it, and vice versa, understand? 

3 MR. RUMBERGER: I understand it well. 

4 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Ms. Toscano, you 

5 understand that? 

6 MS. TOSCANO: Yes, Your Honor. 

7 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, good. But after 

8 May 31st they'll be no more pre-hearing motion, 

9 we'll be done with pre-hearing motion at that 

10 point, okay? 

11 MR. RUMBERGER: I understand. 

12 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay, let's talk about 

13 a hearing date. We're going to have a hearing in 

14 this case, my calendar is pretty full until 

15 September at this point. Do the parties want to 

16 discuss a time that works for them in September 

17 or do you just want to tell me on your calendars 

18 looking at September at this point? 

19 Ms. Toscano? 

20 MS. TOSCANO: Okay, Your Honor. I 

21 don't have anything on schedule yet for September 

22 of 2017.

1 JUDGE RAWALD: And Mr. Rumberger? 

2 MR. RUMBERGER: Yes, I. have nothing 

3 scheduled either. I was hoping this was going to 

4 be taken care of by then, because me and my 

5 family still wish to move. 

6 JUDGE RAWALD: So, where would you be 

7 moving to, Mr. Rumberger: 

8 MR. RUMBERGER: Missouri. 

9 JUDGE RAWALD: Missouri? 

10 MR. RUMBERGER: Yes, we're moving to 

11 Missouri. 

12 JUDGE RAWALD : The only reason why 

13 you're not moving at this point is because of the 

14 pending hearing in this case? 

15 MR. RUMBERGER: The only reason why, 

16 I don't want to leave this behind me, you know? 

17 JUDGE RAWALD: Yes. 

18 MR. RUMBERGER: Because I don't want 

19 to just go and then have it come follow me, I 

20 have to come back. I figured I'd wait to take 

21 care of this. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

JUDGE RAWALD: All right. Well, I'll

1 schedule this for as early as I can in September, 

2 which looks like September 12th is when I would 

3 plan on, so I want you to keep that week open 

4 September 11th. The week of September 11th with 

5 the plan to hearing on September 12th and 13th, 

6 and I will coordinate with the local court and 

7 try to get a hearing date. 

8 Mr. Rumberger, if all that's holding 

9 you back from possibly moving, you simply discuss 

10 a settlement with Ms. Toscano, because that's the 

11 easiest way to get past all these deadlines. I'm 

12 not putting the pressure on you because I have 

13 the schedule and we can go to it. But if you 

14 have a feeling that you want to go ahead and get 

15 this over with sooner than the schedule allows, 

16 then what you need to do is discuss possibly 

17 settling this case with Ms. Toscano. I'll allow 

18 you folks to do that on your own. 

19 I would encourage you to settle 

20 because I think it's the way that everyone is the 

21 most happy with the outcome rather than having 

22 one imposed upon you by the administrator, but

1 that's up to you and Ms. Toscano. Do you 

2 understand that, Mr. Rumberger? 

3 MR. RUMBERGER: I understand. I don't 

4 have what they want. 

5 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. If we're going 

6 to have a hearing in this case, I'll require the 

7 parties to exchange witness evidence 3 o days 

8 before the hearing. What that means is 30 days 

9 before the hearing, so in early August, you'll 

10 have to provide Ms. Toscano with any witnesses 

11 and also the evidence you want me to consider. 

12 Understood, Mr. Rumberger? 

13 MR. RUMBERGER: Certainly. That was 

14 30 days before the hearing, right? 

15 JUDGE RAWALD: Yes, right. Presuming 

16 the hearing is in September, this will be in 

17 August is when that will be due, but that fixed 

18 date will be dictated by when the hearing date 

19 ends. I need to go ahead and coordinate with the 

20 court to make sure the hearing date works for the 

21 courthouse so we can have a hearing.

1 JUDGE RAWALD: Also, each party will 

2 need to provide a copy of all their exhibits, 

3 preferably on a CD containing digital copies. 

4 But if you can only do written ones, Mr. 

5 Rumberger, I understand. And anything you want 

6 me to consider by that date 30 days before the 

7 hearing, so all the things you want me to think 

8 about in the hearing, you have to give me all 

9 your exhibits 30 days before the hearing. 

10 MR. RUMBERGER: Okay. 

11 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. That's the 

12 schedule there, we have a hourly schedule of 

13 events, we have a venue that will be here in this 

14 case. And do you understand what you need to be 

15 doing is that by filing your written answer no 

16 later than this Friday, which can be very simple 

17 for you to be admitting or denying all the 

18 paragraphs of the complaints that you have 

19 drafted before you?

6 JUDGE RAWALD: Okay. Well, at this

8 What I' 11 be doing is putting together a pre9 hearing comps report which will include all these 

10 dates and deadlines, it will be mailed to both 

11 the parties and that way -- Mr. Rumberger, do you 

12 have an email address?
