PETITION
AND NOW comes the petitioner, PHONG V. NGUYEN, by and through his
attorney, Nathan C. Wolf, Esquire, and appeals the suspension of his driving privilege
and avers as follows:
1. Petitioner is Phong V. Nguyen, an adult individual residing at 350 B Street,
Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17013.
2. On or about August 22, 2002, after hearing on matter, petitioner was found
guilty of violating section 18 Pa.C.S.A. g3345A by District Justice Paula Correal.
3. On or about August 30, 2002, petitioner filed a timely appeal of the conviction
with the Clerk of Courts of Cumberland County, which appeal is docketed at 2002-
01906, a hearing has not yet been scheduled for this matter.
4. On or about September 2, 2002 petitioner received a notice from the
Respondent, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver
Licensing, informing him of his suspension. A true and correct copy of the notice of
license suspension is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
5. Petitioner objects to this license suspension on grounds that the result of the
summary appeal from the conviction may render the license suspension moot and as a
result petitioner would suffer significant harm if he is forced to undergo the suspension
period during the pendency of his summary appeal, which would significantly impact his
ability to travel to and from his employment.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter
an order scheduling a hearing on the foregoing matter, and staying any action by the
Respondent pending the outcome of this action.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
October 2, 2002
