OPINION ISSUED AUGUST 24, 1999
WEST VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION OF
REHABILITATION FACILITIES
VS.
DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION
(CC-98-395)

Claimant appeared pro se.

Brian Casto, Attorney at Law, for respondent.
PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the
allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent's Answer.

Claimant seeks $27.62 for providing bulk mailing services to
respondent's office at the West Virginia Capitol Building in
Charleston. The documentation for these services was not processed
for payment within the appropriate fiscal year; therefore, the
claimant has not been paid. In the Answer, respondent admits the
validity of the claim as well as the amount, and states that there
were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year from
which the claim could have been paid.

Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, the Court hereby makes
the following award.

Award of $27.62.
