TuStrong Contracting, Inc.,

License No. ROC 358376,

RESPONDENT.

No. 2025A-05692-CHC-ROC

ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE

AND SETTING STATUS DATE

The hearing of this matter convened on October 21, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Complainant Richard Bui appeared on his own behalf with his friend, Landon Rodger. Julien Flores appeared on behalf of Respondent TuStrong Contracting, Inc., with Elijah Colon, a subcontractor. Arizona Registrar of Contractors Investigator Gregory Johndrow appeared as a witness.

Prior to the commencement of the hearing, the parties were provided with an opportunity to discuss resolution. That discussion was unsuccessful and did not result in a resolution. Consequently, the matter proceeded to hearing. The parties provided their respective opening statements, and Investigator Johndrow presented his testimony. The parties were provided an opportunity to question Investigator Johndrow, and thereafter, Investigator Johndrow was excused. Mr. Bui provided his testimony. During cross examination of Mr. Bui, Mr. Flores proposed that the parties further discuss a resolution. The Administrative Law Judge provided that opportunity to the parties during a recess.

Following the recess, the parties informed the Tribunal that they had reached a resolution of the matter, however, needed additional time in which to execute the terms of their agreement. The parties were advised that the matter would be set for a written Status Update in thirty (30) days.

Good cause appearing, the hearing in the above-entitled matter is continued and set for a written Status Update on November 21, 2025. On or before this date, Mr. Bui is advised to do one of the following:

Inform the Tribunal that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved by submitting a Motion to Vacate the hearing;

Inform the Tribunal that the parties need additional time to resolve the matter by submitting a Motion to Continue and reset for Status by 30-days, 45-days, or 60-days; or

Inform the Tribunal that the parties are unable to resolve their dispute and request that the matter be set for hearing. The parties were advised that in the event a hearing was requested, the hearing would re-convene at the point at which it was adjourned, specifically, with the cross-examination of Mr. Bui.

Done this day, October 21, 2025.
