IN THE MATTER OF 

BUD FISKE RAYMOND 

FAA DOCKET NO. CP10WPOOO1 

(Civil Penalty Action) 

DMSNo. FAA-2010-0018 

PROCEDURAL ORDER 

In order to expedite the hearing in this matter,' the parties shall comply with the 

Procedural Schedule set forth hereinbelow.^ The Rules of Practice for this proceeding 

are set forth in 14 C.F.R. Part 13, Subpart G, of the Federal Aviation Regulations. 

Under FAA Order 2150.3A and the Rules governing these proceedings, the 

Agency attorney and the Respondent should continue to consider the possibility of 

settlement and compromise of this matter.^ Compromise may be effected with or 

without a finding of violation (14 C.F.R. §13.16 fa) (DX 

NOTE: This presiding Judge does not require "Discovery" to be served on the 

Judge. Other Judges have different policies, but as long as this case is assigned to the 

undersigned presiding Judge the parties may, but are not required, serve discovery on the 

undersigned. 

WHEREFORE, the parties be and are hereby ORDERED to adhere to the 

following procedural schedule: 

1. Venue shall be Los Angeles, CA.; 

' 14 C.F.R. § 13.221 states: "The administrative law judge shall give each party at least 60 days notice of 

the date, time and location of the hearing." 

^ Further amendments of the pleadings will not be anticipated absent good cause shown. While 14 C.F.R. § 

13.214(b)(1) permits amendments at any time more than 15 days before a hearing, utilization of that 

provision would prevent orderly preparation for a hearing and could prevent any hearing at all, since notice 

of a hearing must be given 60 days in advance. 14 C.F.R. § 13.221(a). An amendment which might be filed 

15 days prior to the hearing would entitle the other party up to 20 days in which to reply (14 C.F.R. § 

13.214(c)), and could generate a new round of schedules (14 C.F.R. § 13.217), motions (14 C.F.R. § 

13.218), and discovery (14 C.F.R. § 13.220), necessitating a postponement of the hearing, a new 60-day 

notice, et cetera ad infinitum. 

^ See Linda Joyce Goodman, FAA Docket No. CP89WP0061, Order dated May 30, 1989. 
2. On or before May 1, 2010, the parties shall conclude all discovery including, 

but not limited to, depositions, document production, responses to 

production requests an^d/or interrogatories. If the parties cannot resolve a 

discovery dispute they shall submit the dispute to the undersigned for 

resolution in a timely manner; ^ 

3. On or before May 1, 2010, the parties shall be prepared to present these 

cases at a hearing on the merits'', subject to the availability of courtroom 

facilities. 

4. The parties will have the opportunity to file Post-Hearing briefs and 

arguments pursuant to a schedule to be determined at the hearing. For 

guidance, the following schedule is typically used: Complainant shall file its 

brief fifteen (15) days after receipt of the transcript; Respondent shall its 

brief fifteen (15) days thereafter; and any rebuttal brief by the Complainant 

shall be filed seven (7) days thereafter. 

5. Settled cases will not be removed from the hearing docket until the proper 

written pleading(s), consistent with the applicable rules,^ is received by the 

presiding judge.^
