BRIEF OF APPELLANT

HEARING DOCKET 

David Carl Williams (ProSe) 

28- 37th Street N.E., Suite A 

Auburn, Washington 98002 
I. ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR 

A. The FAA failed to properly serve Global Arms and Ammunition pursuant to 

§13.211. 

B. The FAA erred in denying Global Arms and Ammunition's request for a hearing. 

Ul. FACTS AND ARGUMENT 

I. THE FAA FAILED TO PROPERLY SERVE GLOBAL ARMS AND AMMUNITION 

Under the Federal Aviation Regulations, section 13.211, each party must be served. 

Although the Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty was properly addressed to Global Arm and 

Ammunition (herein "Global Arms"), it was given to Mr. Allion Brewer who is not an employee 

of Global Arms. Mr. Brewer shares office space with Global Arms but does not work for Global 

Arms and does not have authority to represent Global Arms in any capacity. 

Global Arms was never notified of the Notice and on its own initiative discovered it. 

Therefore, because service was not made to Global Arms or its employee, it was improper. 

II. THE FAA ERRED IN DENYING GLOBAL ARMS AND AMMUNITION'S 

REQUEST FOR A HEARING. 

Global Arms attempted to request a hearing promptly after it became aware of the 

pending civil penalty. However, the FAA denied the request, stating that the time allotted for 

requesting a hearing had expired. The Notice specifically gives Global Arms 15 days to request a 

hearing, but because proper service was not made to Global Arms, it was deprived of this right. 

Therefore, because Global could not obtain a hearing, it was deprived of a fair opportunity to 

explain the circumstances that lead to the FAA's investigation and proposed civil penalty. 
IV. RELIEF REQUESTED 

For the above reasons, Global Arms and Ammunition request that the FAA grant its 

request for a hearing to explain the mitigating circumstances that lead to the FAA investigation 

and the Order Proposing Civil Penalty. 

Respectfully submitted this 29th day of May 2014.
