3 JUDGE SULLIVAN: We're on the record 

4 in the matter of Felts Field Aviation. This 

5 docket number FAA-2015-3307. Today is Friday, 

6 February 3, 2017, and the parties have convened 

7 for a scheduling conference. The Federal 

8 Aviation Administration which I' 11 hereinafter 

9 refer to by its initials the FAA, is represented 

10 by its attorney of record, Ms. Fatimah Stokely. 

11 The respondent, Felts Field Aviation, 

12 is represented by its co-counsel Mr. Mark J. 

13 Conlin and Mr. Benjamin L. Wyborney. Counsel, 

14 can you tell me who will be speaking on behalf of 

15 your client today? 

16 MR. WYBORNEY: Your honor, we, Ben 

17 Wyborney. 

18 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, thank you very 

19 much. Also present at the Office of Hearings, 

20 sitting in as an observer only is Mr. Cody L.

1 I'll note, what I'll do is I'll simply 

2 note a little bit about why we're here today. 

3 Essentially, on December 15, 2016, the parties 

4 convened by telephone for a continued motion 

5 conference and during that motion conference, the 

6 parties' calendars were consulted and the parties 

7 were directed to appear for their scheduling 

8 conference, today, Friday, February 3, 2017 for 

9 continued discussions about the case, including 

10 discussions about re-setting some dates that have 

11 been cancelled by a court during that December 

12 15, 2016 motion conference. 

13 Since December 15, 2016, there have 

14 been some additional filings which we '11 talk 

15 about today. On January 17, 2017, the respondent 

16 filed the Respondent Motion to Dismiss. On 

17 January 24, 2017, the FAA filed the Complainant's 

18 Opposition to Respondent's Motion to Dismiss. 

19 Court record shows that on January 26, 

20 2017, an order granting in part and denying in 

21 part the Respondent's Motion to Compel was filed. 

22 And this particular order simply codified and 

(202} 234-4433

1 supplemented the oral rulings contained in the 

2 December 15, 2016 motion conference transcript. 

3 On that same day, on January 26, 2017, 

4 the FAA also filed with this court the 

5 Complainant's calculation of the Proposed Civil 

6 Penalty. And, then subsequently, on January 31, 

7 2017, the respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss 

8 comma Supplemental Brief which I'll hereinafter 

9 refer to simply as the Supplemental Brief. 

10 So, Ms. Stokely, starting with you, is 

11 there anything else that's been filed by the FAA 

12 since December 15, 2016 that the court has not 

13 referenced? 

14 MS. STOKELY: No, your honor, but 

15 Calculation of the Proposed Civil Penalty was 

16 filed on January 17th. 

17 JUDGE SULLIVAN: It was not, counsel. 

18 And we can talk about that in just a moment. Mr. 

19 Wyborney, do you have anything else that the 

20 Respondent has filed with the court that the 

21 court has not yet referenced? 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

MR. WYBORNEY: No, your honor.

1 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Then, let's 

2 just talk about the filing date for the 

3 Calculation. Counsel, essentially the only thing 

4 we received from the FAA was the mailed copy of 

5 the Complainant's Calculation of Proposed Civil 

6 Penalty and I do note that your certificate of 

7 service indicates that it was sent to us by fax, 

8 but we did not receive a fax. 

9 Do you have in any way a copy of your 

10 fax notification that you can provide to us? 

11 Because if somehow somebody picked this up from 

12 our fax machine and didn't give it to me, I need 

13 to know that. 

14 MS. STOKELY: I can talk to my 

15 paralegal, your honor, and ask her to provide 

16 that, but I know that the Respondent has stated 

17 that they received the Agency's calculation of 

18 the proposed civil penalty on January 17th as 

19 well. And so they were --

20 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, I'm going to 

21 interrupt you. What the respondent got versus 

22 what was filed with the court are two different 

(202) 234-4433

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS 

1323 RHODE ISLAND AVE., N.W. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-3701 www.nealrgross.com 
7 

1 things. So, I'm just telling you that the court 

2 filing, the first filing we received from the 

3 FAA, at least according to the court's record, 

4 was on January 26, 2017 and it was by mail only. 

5 So, yes, if you could talk to your 

6 assistant, if it's not in your file right now, 

7 and see if there is a fax confirmation of sending 

8 it to the court on January 17, 2017, that would 

9 be very helpful. But, until I receive some 

10 notice of that, the record will still basically 

11 comport with what the court's current record 

12 shows which is a filing on January 26, 2017. 

13 And, that's with the court. 

14 MS. STOKELY: Ok, your honor. 

15 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. So, let's talk 

16 a little bit about the respondent's motion that 

17 was filed on January 17, 2017 versus the 

18 respondent's supplemental brief that was filed on 

19 January 31, 2017. And, I think we need to 

20 address a distinction between the January 17, 

21 2017 motion and the January 31, 2017 supplemental 

22 brief.

1 Essentially the motion that was filed 

2 on January 17, 2017, appears to have sought 

3 dismissal. And, that was the only requested 

4 relief from the respondent at that time. And, 

5 then on January 31, 2017, the respondent's 

6 supplemental brief amended the January 17, 2017 

7 motion by adding an alternative motion to the 

8 respondent's request. That being specifically 

9 preclusion of evidence if full dismissal was not 

10 authorized. 

11 Mr. Wyborney, is that generally a 

12 correct statement of what the respondent did in 

13 those two filings? 

14 MR. WYBORNEY: Yes, your honor. 

15 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Then, Ms. 

16 Stokely, the question becomes, do you want 

17 additional time to respond in writing to the 

18 alternate motion that's contained in the January 

19 31, 2017 supplemental brief, or do you want to 

20 simply respond to it orally today? And, it's up 

21 to you. The court takes no position. 

22 

(202) 234-4433 

MS. STOKELY: No, I'll respond in

1 writing. 

2 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Well, the last 

3 day for you to file something with this court 

4 would be, according to my calculations, next 

5 Friday, February 10, 2017. Is that correct 

6 according to your calculations? 

7 MS. STOKELY: Yes, your honor. 

8 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Then, let's 

9 plan on hearing from the FAA in writing on or 

10 before February 10, 2017 to the alternative 

11 motion that was included in the respondent's 

12 January 31, 2017 supplemental brief. 

13 And, Ms. Stokely, since you're going 

14 to be submitting something in writing to the 

15 court and to the other side next Friday, let's 

16 use that as the same date for you to provide any 

17 proof of fax confirmation of your calculation of 

18 the proposed civil penalty which the court 

19 received by mail on January 26, 2017. 

20 MS. STOKELY: Okay, your honor. 

21 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. So, with that, 

22 Mr. Wyborney, we may be able to at least address

1 the motion to dismiss today. And I 'm going to 

2 give you, since the FAA has already responded to 

3 that, so I would like Mr. Wyborney, if you would 

4 be so kind as to just take a few minutes to 

5 highlight anything you would like to say about 

6 that motion to dismiss before I turn to the FAA 

7 for its response. 

8 MR. WYBORNEY: Your honor, we look at 

9 the information provided by the FAA. We found it 

10 substantively non-production, even if they did 

11 produce a document with the correct title, we 

12 feel that document is unresponsive and is 

13 equivalent, is tantamount to a failure to 

14 produce. 

15 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Anything else you'd 

16 like to say? 

17 MR. WYBORNEY: No, not at this time, 

18 your honor. Thank you. 

19 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Well, let me ask you 

20 a question, then. You're moving for dismissal, 

21 and we're only going to talk about the dismissal 

22 portion of this motion, you're moving for 

(202) 234-4433

1 dismissal and the motion appears to be based on 

2 not only discovery failures, but failures in 

3 general. 

4 And, I'm looking specifically at the 

5 January 17, 2 017 motion on page seven of the 

6 seven-page document. And you identify at the 

7 last full paragraph quote, the FAA' s repeated 

8 failures to meet deadlines and to comply with 

9 this court's orders, end quote and so forth, and 

10 you talk about how these violated your rights to 

11 due process in discovery, violated your client's 

12 rights to speedy litigation essentially and 

13 caused unnecessary attorney's fees. 

14 Where in the rules of practice are you 

15 focusing on reading or directing the court for 

16 granting your motion for dismissal because it 

17 appears to me that you're asking the court to do 

18 something that it may not be able to do based on 

19 what's been presented. 

20 MR. WYBORNEY: Your honor, I think you 

21 should have the authority to dismiss the case at 

22 14 C.F.R. Section 13.218(f) (2).

1 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, so under the 

2 general motion for dismissal regulation? 

3 MR. WYBORNEY: Yes, your honor. And, 

4 then also, I don't have the exact reference 

5 pulled up in front I can get it for you, just a 

6 second, one of your authorities as the 

7 Administrative Law Judge overseeing the case is 

8 you have the authority to grant motions. 

9 JUDGE SULLIVAN: That's absolutely 

10 true. Anything else that you would like to say 

11 in support of the request for a full dismissal of 

12 the case? 

13 MR. WYBORNEY: Oh, your honor, one of 

14 the things I would like to observe is there is 

15 nearly a nine-month delay for interrogatories. 

16 That delayed the case. We've been arguing about 

17 this discovery issue now for basically six 

18 months. 

19 This is delaying the case. My client 

20 is absolutely being denied due process in that 

21 there's been months, nearly a year of delays, 

22 that is not his fault.

1 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Anything else? 

2 MR. WYBORNEY: No, your honor. 

3 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Ms. Stokely, 

4 let's turn to you. What response do you have to 

5 the motion for dismissal as a solution to what 

6 the respondent says is the FAA's failure to 

7 properly litigate this case? 

8 MS. STOKELY: Your honor, on January 

9 17, 2017 the Agency provided the respondent with 

10 its calculation of the proposed civil penalties 

11 pursuant to your verbal order that you gave us on 

12 December 15, 2016. The agency provided the 

13 respondent with the facts, data, and opinions 

14 utilized by the FAA to support its sanction 

15 against the respondent. 

16 And, so it is the agency's position 

17 that the respondent's motion should be denied. 

18 JUDGE SULLIVAN: You've heard Mr. 

19 Wyborney talk about, both orally and in his 

20 material, about the delays that have occurred 

21 throughout this process and you've seen him 

22 assert that the respondent has had to pay money

14 

1 for pleadings and litigation costs that should 

2 not have happened. What is your response to 

3 that? 

4 MS. STOKELY: Your honor, the 

5 respondent has not been prejudiced by these 

6 delays. Since I've taken over this case in July, 

7 I don't believe there's been unnecessary delays. 

8 Each delay has been as a result of 

9 motions filed by the respondent and it just takes 

10 time to litigate a case and every time they file 

11 a motion, we have to reply. That's how things 

12 work procedurally. 

13 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Well, I do and I 

14 think we all do and ideally when a litigant 

15 receives requests for discovery, the litigant 

16 responds within the 30 days it's provided by the 

17 FAA's rules of practice. If the litigant needs a 

18 protective order of some kind, the litigant files 

19 one in a timely manner. If there are disputes 

20 between the parties, presumably the party who is 

21 being asked for a response, responds in a timely 

22 fashion. 

(202) 234-4433 

The party appears for court when it's

15 

1 directed to and so forth. 

2 And, I think one of the things that 

3 the respondent is highlighting in his motion is 

4 that there appears to be based on the record 

5 before the court a problem evinced former counsel 

6 certainly in the FAA's proceedings in this 

7 particular case and a resistance by current 

8 counsel to provide information willingly. And, 

9 so do you have any response to those concerns at 

10 least that have been raised by this current 

11 motion for dismissal? 

12 MS. STOKELY: Yes, your honor. I, 

13 once again the Agency apologizes for any delays 

14 that occurred because of previous counsel. But, 

15 moving forward, I definitely intend on being 

16 cooperative and meeting all deadlines and I, the 

17 Agency's counsel right now, me speaking, I'm not 

18 resisting respondent's request for information. 

19 A lot of times they have very 

20 convoluted requests and so it's very hard for me 

21 to understand exactly what they're seeking and I 

22 know we had a discussion regarding privileged

1 information, but once that was fleshed out, the 

2 Agency has been more than willing to be 

3 responsive to any requests from respondent. 

4 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, thank you. Mr. 

5 Wyborney, this is your motion. In terms of the 

6 motion for dismissal as a remedy, is there 

7 anything else that you would like to add? 

8 MR. WYBORNEY: Yes, your honor. My 

9 client has basically been paying attorney's fees, 

10 for what, 15 extra months, certainly for the last 

11 six months, over something that the FAA should 

12 have produced. 

13 We asked very clearly and very 

14 concisely for that information. I don't believe 

15 there's any convolution in the request. I just, 

16 I patently reject that. That the FAA is 

17 forthcoming with the information, I patently 

18 reject that in my supplemental brief to this 

19 motion to dismiss. Even in our conversation on 

20 January 25 when we discussed with the FAA counsel 

21 that we didn't find their production 

22 satisfactory, they're like nope, we don't give

17 

1 that information out. 

2 Your honor, I just cannot agree that 

3 the FAA has been cooperative at all. They don't 

4 produce what should have been disclosed items. 

5 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, thank you very 

6 much. What I'm going to do is this. I am going 

7 to find that the motion to dismiss must be denied 

8 because there has been rulings by the FAA 

9 administrator as recently as 2012 in which the 

10 FAA administrator has noted that in cases like 

11 this one, particularly when discovery is at 

12 issue, the rules of practice do not specify that 

13 the court may issue an order of dismissal of the 

14 entire case. 

15 Rather, the rules specify that the 

16 court should be utilizing sanctions that are 

17 specifically found, and I'm going to pull this 

18 section up, 14 C.F.R. Section 13.217 subsection F 

19 as in Frank. This is also provided for, again, 

20 in 14 C.F.R. Section 13.221, subsection N as in 

21 Nancy and we haven't addressed those at all in 

22 this particular case, particularly regarding the 

(202) 234-4433

1 response of the FAA, the FAA had to the court's 

2 order to compel. 

3 And, I think the court must, as the 

4 parties must, be looking at those remedies, which 

5 are far more proportional in this court's 

6 opinion, to whatever allegation that the 

7 respondent is now making about that material 

8 rather than entering a full dismissal of the 

9 entire case. 

10 So, the portion of the amended motion 

11 that the respondent filed on January 31, 2017 in 

12 its supplemental brief renewing its request for 

13 dismissal of the entire case is respectfully 

14 denied. The portion of the supplemental brief 

15 that seeks an alternate remedy, specifically 

16 preclusion is reserved since the FAA has not had 

17 a chance to respond specifically to that and has 

18 until February 10, 2017 to do so. 

19 So, let's talk then, about what we had 

20 hoped to accomplish at this particular 

21 conference. We had talked on December 15, 2016, 

22 about 

(202) 234-4433 

utilizing this conference 

NEAL R. GROSS 

COURT REPORTERS AND TRANSCRIBERS

to re-set 

www.nea!rgross.com 
19 

1 deadlines for exchanging witness lists, 

2 determining whether or not depositions needed to 

3 be done, talking about setting up a dispositive 

4 motion schedule and also taking a second look at 

5 our June 2017 reserved date for hearing to see if 

6 those would still work. 

7 And, we can either do that today, if 

8 both parties are comfortable, or, and I hesitate 

9 to make this suggestion, but I will, we can put 

10 that and re-schedule a conference shortly after 

11 February 10, 2017, for any oral argument on the 

12 alternate motion and for a continuation to try 

13 and address these issues about how close the 

14 parties are to have a hearing or not. 

15 Mr. Wyborney, I'm going to turn to you 

16 first about your preferences. What would you 

17 like to do today? 

18 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Your honor, right 

19 now, we would like to have a second hearing as 

20 you suggest before we try to schedule anything. 

21 For instance, the example of scheduling 

22 depositions, really without the information we've

1 requested, I'm not sure if we need a deposition 

2 and if we did schedule one, I'm not sure I could 

3 ask an informed question without the discovery 

4 items that have been denied to me. 

5 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Ms. Stokely, any 

6 disagreement with putting the rest of the 

7 discussion matters until after February 10, 2017? 

8 MS. STOKELY: Yes, your honor. The 

9 Agency is ready to schedule things today if 

10 possible and the respondent complains about this 

11 case being delayed, but it seems like they're 

12 dragging their feet as well. 

13 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Well, let me ask you 

14 this, if counsel tell, explain to me anyway, how 

15 the respondent could make decisions about who and 

16 what, who to depose and what questions to ask if 

17 there is still a dispute between the parties 

18 about the evidence supporting the proposed

20 MS. STOKELY: Your honor, the Agency 

21 has clearly laid out who they anticipate on 

22 calling as witnesses and who and people who have,

1 individuals who have relevant information 

2 regarding this case. 

3 Additionally, the Agency has clearly 

4 laid out its sanction calculations. If the 

5 respondent would prefer for the Agency to 

6 reorganize this calculation so that it puts 

7 provisions under headings, then we can do that as 

8 well so they can better understand the sanction 

9 calculation, but I'm unclear exactly what the 

10 respondent seeking at this point. 

11 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Did you read the 

12 respondent's supplemental brief? 

13 MS. STOKELY: Yes, your honor. I did 

14 their supplemental brief and I was confused as to 

15 what they were seeking. 

16 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. Well, let's 

17 make sure that everybody's on the same page about 

18 what the FAA's going to file for a response. The 

19 FAA has until February 10, 2017 to file a written 

20 response to the respondent's motion for 

21 preclusion of evidence. 

22 So, essentially the FAA is going to

1 advise me and the respondent what caselaw or 

2 other legal authority it wants to cite that would 

3 support opposition to the motion for preclusion. 

4 This presumably is not a time for the FAA to file 

5 a second calculation. It's a time for the FAA to 

6 defend the calculation it did provide in response 

7 to the court's order compelling the FAA to 

8 provide the information. 

9 Number two, I would agree with the 

10 respondent that there has to be a decision about 

11 the scope of the FAA's evidence in support of its 

12 case-in-chief before the respondent can 

13 reasonably make determinations about who to 

14 depose and the scope of the deposition testimony. 

15 Those two things do go together. 

16 The fact that the parties are in 

17 dispute about that particular portion of the 

18 FAA's case-in-chief is not insignificant and it 

19 is not a problem to lay on the respondent's 

20 doorstep simply because the respondent is taking 

21 its full use of its right to complain about 

22 something it believes was incomplete.

1 The respondent is utilizing the rules 

2 of practice as the FAA has encouraged all 

3 litigants to do and neither this court nor the 

4 FAA should call foul against the respondent for 

5 doing so. 

6 I think we can however, get together 

7 very shortly after February 10, 2017 so that we 

8 can finalize some decisions on that point and try 

9 and get the parties back into a litigation 

10 schedule that efficiently uses everybody's time 

11 with limited resources expended from there going 

12 forward. Because I don't want either the 

13 respondent or the FAA to be looking at greater 

14 expense when lesser expenses are possible. 

15 So, let's take a look at our calendar 

16 and let's assume that the FAA will be filing by 

17 fax and perhaps by e-mail to the respondent, that 

18 was lovely to see. It's material that has a 

19 February 10, 2017 due date. 

20 That puts us into the week of February 

21 13th, and I'm wondering, starting with you Mr. 

22 Wyborney, if

1 February, in the week of February 13, 2017 that 

2 might work for your client to return for a one3 hour conference. 

4 MR. WYBORNEY: Your honor, I have an 

5 appointment on February 14th, however the rest of 

6 the week is available. 

7 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Ms. Stokely, turning 

8 to you, same question. 

9 MS. STOKELY: I'm available February 

10 13th and 15th. 

11 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay. And my 

12 recollection of you both is that you're on the 

13 west coast so does the time period of between one 

14 and two o'clock eastern time still work for you, 

15 Mr. Wyborney? 

16 MR. WYBORNEY: Yes, your honor. 

17 JUDGE SULLIVAN: And, Ms. Stokely? 

18 MS. STOKELY: Yes, your honor. 

19 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Let's try for 1:30 on 

20 Wednesday, February 15, 2017 for a motion and 

21 scheduling conference on this case and what we'll 

22 do is we'll start off with any oral argument, if

1 there is any, on the reserved portion of the 

2 respondent's July 30, I'm sorry, January 31, 2017 

3 supplemental brief which requests an alternate 

4 remedy of preclusion of evidence. 

5 And, then after we take care of that 

6 particular issue, then we'll go back into looking 

7 at the June 2017 reserve date that are on 

8 everybody's calendar for the hearing and just to 

9 remind you, that is the week of June 19, 2017, 

10 specifically. 

11 We'll talk about whether or not that 

12 time period is still available and in the mean 

13 time, I will see if we can get a courtroom if 

14 possible for that time period so that when we 

15 reconvene on February 15, 2017, I can then assure 

16 you that that's a possibility to consider. 

17 And, then we can also talk about 

18 whether or not there is a possibility prior to 

19 that for filing summary judgment motion, doing 

20 depositions, or any of the other pre-litigation 

21 work that parties like to do, sometimes feel is 

22 necessary to do, prior to convening for an actual

1 hearing. 

2 With that, Ms. Stokely, on behalf of 

3 the FAA, is there anything else we need to 

4 address for your client today? 

5 MS. STOKELY: No, your honor. 

6 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, Mr. Wyborney, 

7 same question to you, sir. 

8 MR. WYBORNEY: No, your honor. 

9 JUDGE SULLIVAN: Okay, then I will 

10 look forward to speaking with you all on 

11 Wednesday February 15, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern 

12 time which according to my calculations is 10:30 

13 a.m. Pacific time. 

14 With that, I'm going to wish you all 

15 a good weekend and we can go off the record at
