PER CURIAM:
This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and the respondent’s Answer.
Claimant seeks $7,270.00 and $1,308.60 in interest for plugging and filling oil and gas wells as directed by the respondent state agency. The invoice for the services was not processed for payment in the proper fiscal year; therefore, the claimant has not been paid. The respondent admits the validity and amount of the claim and states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year with which the claim could have been paid.
In accordance with West Virginia Code $14-2-12 the Court hereby denies interest in the amount of $1,308.60.
In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount of $7,270.00.
Award of $7,270.00.
