OPINION ISSUED OCTOBER 19, 1999
PHYLLIS HAYNES EDENS, CCR
VS.
BOARD OF BARBERS AND COSMETOLOGISTS
(CC-99-359)

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 $209.60 for providing court reporter services
before respondent's hearing examiner 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 invoice
could have been paid.

Accordingly, the Court hereby makes an award to claimant in
the amount of $209.60.

Award of $209.60.
