COMPLAINANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE 

RESPONDENT'S TIMELINESS ARGUMENT

MOTION FOR STAY OF PROCEEDINGS 

PENDING A DECISION ON THIS MOTION 

"D 

i,j j 

C O 

The Complainant, by and through the undersigned counsel, and pursuant to 14 

C.F.R. §13.218(0(4) of the FAA's Rules of Practice in Civil Penalty Actions hereby files 

this Motion To Strike Respondent's Timeliness Argument and Motion For Stay of 

Proceedings Pending a Decision On This Motion. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §13.218(f)(4), 

"Any party may make a motion to strike any insufficient allegation or defense, or any 

redundant, immaterial, or irrelevant matter in a pleading. As grounds for these motions. 

Complainant states the following: 

1. 

On March 10, 2011, Respondent filed a Request For Hearing in this matter. In its 

request, Respondent states, "the FAA failed to give timely notice within 2 years of the 
purported violafion" and that it, "reserves the right to move to dismiss this case because it 

is stale under 14 CFR § 13.208(d)." This is an affirmative defense. 

2. 

According to 14 C.F.R. § 13.208(d), "Instead of filing an answer to the complaint, 

a respondent may move to dismiss the complaint, or that part of the complaint, alleging a 

violation that occurred on or after August 2, 1990, and more than 2 years before an 

agency attorney issued a notice of proposed civil penalty to the respondent." 

3. 

Complainant issued notices in FAA cases 2008EA210042 and 2008EA210045 on 

February 4, 2009. Exhibits 1 and 2. These cases alleged violations of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations in September of 2008. Clearly, these notices were issued within the 

two year period prescribed by § 13.208(d), which would have ended in September of 

2010. 

4. 

The notices were issued to the President of Airline Transport Professionals at 

P.O. Box 1784, Ponte Verde (sic) Beach, Florida 32004. 

5. 

On February 12, 2009, counsel for Respondent issued a letter stating that he 

represented "Airline Transport Professionals, Inc. ("ATP")". Exhibit 3. Respondent's 

letter acknowledged receipt of both nofices. Respondent's counsel issued a copy of this 

letter to Jim Kozarski (sic). In this letter, counsel also requested a transfer of the case to 

the FAA's Southern Regional Offices in Atlanta, Georgia. 
On July 23, 2009 the parties conducted an informal conference at the FAA 

Southern Regional Office. Exhibit 4. Respondent's counsel and the following Airline 

Transport Professionals officials and employees attended: Derrick Dennis, President; Jim 

Koziarski, Vice-President; Phil Cooper, Vice-President; Walt Schamel, Training 

Manager; Justin Dennis; and Robert Taylor. Ibid. Most of these men presented business 

cards at the informal conference. Exhibit 5. 

7. 

The cards all showed Airline Transport Professionals' address as the same as in 

the notices the FAA issued on February 4, 2009. Additionally, the backside of Walt 

Schamel's card listed a website for the company at www.ALLATPS.com. Exhibit 6. 

The website lists the same address for the company as the notices and the business cards. 

Exhibit 7. Airline Transport Professionals has multiple locations around the United 

States. Exhibit 8. 

8. 

Because of the facts and evidence cited above, whether Airline Transport 

Professionals received notice of these matters pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §13.218(d) cannot 

legitimately be questioned. Whether it will be ultimately be found liable in these matters 

is another issue. 

WHEREFORE, because the timelines of the service of a Notice of Proposed Civil 

Penalty is a threshold issue controlling whether the matter may proceed. Complainant 

moves the Department of Transportation's Administrative Law Judge assigned to this 
matter to rule on this issue immediately after Respondent files a response and to stay any 

fiirther procedures pending a ruling on this issue. An immediate decision would promote 

the judicial economy of both the parties and the DOT. The granting of a stay would have 

the same effect as the granting of an extension of time under §13.213. It would also 

avoid any confiision that may result in the as yet unfiled Complaint and Answer 

concerning the proper name of the Respondent. 

l| Respectfully submitted this \ \ day of March, 2011.

RE: Docket No. 2008EA210042; and 

Docket No. 2008EA210045 

Dear Mr. Lewerenz: 

The undersigned represents Airline Transport Professionals, Inc. ("ATP"). 

This letter will acknowledge receipt of the FAA's Notices of Proposed Civil Penalty 

in Docket No. 2008EA210042 and 2008EA210045. 

We want to have the informal conference in this matter convened in the 

Office of the Regional Counsel for the Southern Region in Atlanta. Please transfer 

this file to the Southern Region for the informal conference. However, before you 

transfer the file to the Southern Region, please provide me, on an informal basis, 

with a copy of the releasable portions of the Enforcement Investigative Reports in 

case Nos. 2008EA210042 and 2008EA210045. I need to have the EIR in these two 

cases in order to evaluate them. I cannot attend an informal conference and 

participate intelligently in that activity unless I am provided with copies of the 

EIRs. Please ensure that those materials are provided to me. 

In due course, I anticipate that we will be hearing from counsel in the FAA 

office in Atlanta to schedule the informal conference in these matters. 

Thank you for your attention in this matter. 

Best

RE: Docket No. 2008EA210042; and 

Docket No. 2008EA210045 

Dear Mr. Lewerenz: 

The undersigned represents Airline Transport Professionals, Inc. ("ATP"). 

This letter wUl acknowledge receipt of the FAA's Notices of Proposed Civil Penalty 

in Docket No. 2008EA210042 and 2008EA210045. 

We want to have the informal conference in this matter convened in the 

Office of the Regional Coimsel for the Southern Region in Atlanta. Please transfer 

this file to the Southern Region for the informal conference. However, before you 

transfer the file to the Southern Region, please provide me, on an informal basis, 

with a copy of the releasable portions of the Enforcement Investigative Reports in 

case Nos. 2008EA210042 and 2008EA210045. I need to have the EIR in these two 

cases in order to evaluate them. I cannot attend an informal conference and 

participate intelligently in that activity unless I am provided with copies of the 

EIRs. Please ensure that those materials are provided to me. 

In due course, I anticipate that we will be hearing from counsel in the FAA 

ofRce in Atlanta to schedule the informsil conference in these matters. 

Thank you for your attention in this matter. 

Best TegBi/iB, 

Alan Armstrong
