RE:      In the Matter of the Administrative Penalty Order Issued to Paint with Prep, Inc.;

OAH Docket No. 11-2200-20654-2

 

Dear Mr. Hernke:

I recently received the Notice and Order for Expedited Hearing under the Revenue Recapture Rules in the above matter.  As you know, the hearing has been scheduled to be held on Wednesday, August 5, 2009, commencing at 9:30 a.m. at the Office of Administrative Hearings, which is located in the Stassen Building in the State Capitol complex.  The address is 600 North Robert Street, First Floor, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101.  

 

You are not required to have a lawyer for the hearing in this matter.  However, you may wish to talk with a lawyer about this case, the statutes or rules that apply, and possible representation.  If you wish to discuss this matter with an attorney, you may contact the Volunteer Lawyers Network at 612-752-6677 (or vln@hcba.org).  The staff of the VLN will consider the type of case involved and your ability to pay and make an appropriate referral.  Your county bar association may also operate an attorney referral service.

 

I have enclosed a booklet entitled “A Guide to Participating in Contested Case Proceedings” and two other documents entitled “Contested Case Hearing Preparation” and “How to Be a Good Witness.” These materials have been prepared by my office for use by those who choose to appear without an attorney in contested case proceedings.  Please review these materials prior to the hearing.  If you have access to the internet, additional information is available on the website of the Office of Administrative Hearings at www.oah.state.mn.  Any further questions may be directed to one of the staff attorneys in my office at 651-361-7900. 

Sincerely,
