VS.
STATE RAIL AUTHORITY
(CC-99-399)

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 the sum of $2,000.00 for a Black Angus Heifer
that was struck and killed by a train. 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 hereby makes an award to claimant in
the amount of $2,000.00.

Award of $2,000.00.
