On May 31, 2017, Division of Insurance hearing officer, Kristina A. Gasson, entered orders and fine on Order to Show Cause filed by the Division of Insurance against Eugene Laronzo Bazemore, of Norfolk, Virginia, Robert Allen Christian, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Benjamin V. Fistel, of Miami, Florida. (“Respondents”).
The hearing officer also fined each of the Respondents varying amounts. The hearing officer fined Mr. Bazemore $1,000, Mr. Christian $2500, and Mr. Fistel $3500. All fines were ordered paid to the Division within 30 days.
Mr. Bazemore was a licensed Massachusetts non-resident insurance producer. The Division’s Order to Show Cause alleged Mr. Bazemore failed to report a misdemeanor criminal charge on his Uniform Application for Individual Producer License in violation of M.G.L. c. 175, §162R (a)(1). The Order to Show Cause further alleged that Mr. Bazemore failed to report administrative actions against him by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the state of New York that resulted in revocation of his insurance producer licenses in those jurisdictions. The Order to Show Cause alleged Mr. Bazemore, by failing to timely report those actions, violated M.G.L. c. 175, §162V(a) and that these allegations support revocation of Mr. Bazemore’s Massachusetts producer license pursuant to the provisions of M.G.L. c. 175, §162R (a)(2) and (a)(9).
Mr. Christian was a licensed Massachusetts non-resident insurance producer on the date the Division’s Order to Show Cause issued against him. Mr. Christian’s Order to Show Cause alleged that he had failed to report administrative actions against him by the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Maine, and Michigan that resulted in revocation of his insurance producer licenses in those jurisdictions. The Order to Show Cause alleged that Mr. Christian, by failing to timely report those actions, violated M.G.L. c. 175, §162V (a).
Mr. Fistel had been until September 23, 2015, a licensed Massachusetts non-resident insurance producer. The Order to Show Cause against him alleged that he had failed to report administrative actions against him by the Commonwealth of Virginia and the states of Vermont, Wisconsin, Delaware, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Maine that resulted in revocation of his insurance producer licenses in those jurisdictions. The Order to Show Cause further alleged that Mr. Fistel, by failing timely to report those actions, violated M.G.L. c. 175, §162V (a). The Division further contends that these allegations support revocation of Mr. Fistel’s Massachusetts producer license pursuant to the provisions of M.G.L. c. 175, §162R (a)(2) and (a)(9).
Note: Although Mr. Fistel’s Massachusetts license had expired the Division could file an Order to Show Cause and enter sanctions because under Massachusetts laws such actions “…even if the person’s license or registration has been surrendered or has lapsed by operation of law.” M.G.L. c. 175, § 162R(14)(e).
