This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and the respondent's Answer.
Claimant seeks reimbursement for legal services rendered to respondent when he served as a hearing examiner for the respondent State agency.

The respondent admits the validity and amount of the claim and states that there were sufficient funds in the appropriate fiscal year with which the claim could have been paid.
In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount sought.
Award of $46,600.00.
