Adm. Law Judge: Manzione

Dear Mr. Sloan:

This is in response to the letter of appeal submitted with respect to the above-referenced case.

On December 11, 2000, at an inquest before an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ"), you were found in violation of Rules 2-66B (failure to appear at the December 11, 2000 hearing), 2-27A(2), (hack license not in frame) and 2-27A(l) (missing trip record). The ALJ imposed respective penalties of $200, $50 and $30.

On June 5, 2001, upon review of your written motion to vacate, another ALJ denied the motion. The ALJ found that you failed to establish excusable neglect and a meritorious defense. You were found in violation of Rules 2-66B, 2-27A(2) and 2-27A(l). The ALJ imposed respective penalties of $200 plus 2 points, $50 plus 2 points and $30.

The findings of the AU are based on a determination of credibility and are supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, the decision is affirmed.

Very truly yours,
Matthew W. Daus
