IN THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

I have reviewed the records of the Office and as co-custodian of such records have determined:

1. On April 20, 2009, the Administrative Law Judge Decision in the above entitled matter was transmitted to the Department of Agriculture by mail.

2. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.08 and A.R.S. § 1-243, the Department of Agriculture may have accepted, rejected or modified the Administrative Law Judge Decision, as evidenced by receipt of such action by the Office of Administrative Hearings, on or before May 25, 2009.

3. No action by the Department of Agriculture was received by the Office of Administrative Hearings as of May 25, 2009.

Therefore, pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.08(D), the attached Administrative Law Judge Decision is certified as the final administrative decision of the Department of Agriculture.

A Party has the right to request a rehearing from the Department of Agriculture pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.09(A). In addition, the matter may be appealed to the Superior Court, pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.08(H), although a party may be required to seek a rehearing from the Department of Agriculture before appeal (see A.R.S. § 41-1092.09(B)). Further rights may be lost without action in a timely manner. Parties may wish to review these sections as quickly as possible after receipt of this notice. They may be found at the local library or on the internet at http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp.

Done this day, May 27, 2009.
