OPINION ISSUED SEPTEMBER 8, 1999
TAYLOR & JAMES, PLLC
VS.
WEST VIRGINIA INSURANCE COMMISSION
(CC-99-290)

Claimant appeared pro se.

Joy M. Cavallo, 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 $4,127.00 for providing legal services to
respondent in Charleston. The documentation for these services was
not processed for payment within the appropriate fiscal year;
therefore, claimant has not been paid. In its 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 invoices could have been paid.

Accordingly, the Court hereby makes an award to claimant in
the amount of $4,127.00.

Award of $4,127.00.
