OPINION ISSUED SEPTEMBER 8, 1999
EMP OF OHIO COUNTY
VS.
DIVISION OF JUVENILE SERVICES
(CC-99-303)

Claimant appeared pro se.

C. Scott McKinney, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.
PER CURIAM:

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

Claimant seeks $135.40 for providing medical services to a
juvenile at respondent's facility in Wheeling, Ohio County. 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 invoice
could have been paid.

Accordingly, the Court hereby makes an award to the claimant
in the amount of $135.40.

Award of $135.40.
