BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM OF WEST VIRGINIA
(CC-99-205)

Claimant appeared pro se.

Samuel R. Spatafore, Assistant Attorney General, 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 $100.00 for his VCR that was destroyed when
electrical work was done in the apartment which claimant rented
from respondent. In its Answer, respondent admits the validity
of the claim and that the amount is fair and reasonable. The Court
is aware that respondent does not have a fiscal method for paying
claims of this nature; therefore, the claim has been submitted to
this Court for determination.

Accordingly, the Court makes an award to the claimant for his
loss in the amount of $100.00.

Award of $100.00.
