Case No. 2009S0150216 

Respondent 

ORDER GRANTING/DENYING RELIEF 

On February 27,2014, an Order Continuing Motion Conference was filed. Among other 

things, this Order continued the February 27, 2014 Motion Conference, scheduled to address the 

Respondent's February 21, 2014 Motions, until February 28, 2014. 

On February, 28, 2014, Mr. Paul Bowen, an attorney, telephoned the Office ofHearings 

("OH") on behalf of the Respondent. Mr. Bowen advised the OH staff that Mr. Honeycutt would 

be unavailable to appear for the Motion Conference. Mr. Bowen requested that he be allowed to 

appear as a friend of the court in Mr. Honeycutt's stead. 

Later that same day, February 28,2014, Mr. Bowen and the FAA appeared by telephone 

for the Motion Conference. The FAA did not object to Mr. Bowen's limited amicus appearance. 

At the conclusion of the February 28, 2014 Motion Conference, oral rulings were issued. This 

Order codifies those oral rulings. 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 13.205(a)(8), 13.214, and 13.218(e)(2), and after reviewing all 

relevant caselaw, regulations, statutory authority, and being fully advised; 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. Mr. Bowen's request to appear on behalf of the Respondent's representative, Mr. 

Honeycutt, in the limited role of friend of the court during the February 28, 2014 Motion 

Conference is granted. 

2. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §13.214, the Respondent's Motion to Strike the FAA's February 

11, 2014 Amendment of the Complaint is denied. 

3. The Respondent's Alternative Motion to Continue the Trial, contained in the 

Respondent's February 21, 2014 Objection to and Motion to Strike the Amendment of 

the Complaint, is denied. 
4. The Respondent's Motion to Exclude Certain Witnesses Specified in the Complainant's 

Witness and Amended Witness List is denied, because less drastic curative relief is 

available. 

5. On or before 6:00pm on February 28,2014, the FAA shall provide the Respondent with 

a written statement explaining how the FAA's Exhibits C-17 and C-18 relate to the 

calculation of the proposed civil penalty, and the link between those exhibits and the 

testimony of the FAA witnesses Martha Farmer and David Dunn. 

6. Prior to the FAA witnesses Martha Farmer and Donald Dunn testifying at the hearing, the 

Respondent is granted the opportunity to meet informally with them to ask further 

questions about the scope of their testimony. This informal meeting will last no more 

than one hour, and will occur as directed by the court, sometime during the scheduled 

days of the hearing, March 5, 2014 and/or March 6, 2014. 

7. The Respondent's right to request any further relief is reserved.
