vs.
GARMAN R. KENT,
Petitioner
PETITION FOR APPEAL FROM NOTICE OF DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION'S INTENTION TO SUSPEND
OPERATOR'S LICENSE
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
1. Your Petitioner, GARMAN R. KENT, is an individual
residing at 107 East Allen Street, Apt. 4, Mechanicsburg, PA
17055.
2. By notice dated September 15, 2000, Petitioner was
informed that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
intends to suspend his present operator's license, bearing card
number 26087492, was for a period of 90 days effective October
20, 2000. A true and correct copy of said notice is attached
hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "A".
3. Said suspension arises out of the Petitioner's alleged
conviction of Section 6308(a), of the PA Crimes Code, commonly
referred to as underage drinking.
4. Petitioner has appealed the underlying conviction which
~ '
" '
,l;;
.,
-) "~"" ,~, h,
t.
forms the basis for the Department of Transportation's impending
action.
5. The Notice of Suspension is insufficient as a matter of
law and violates due process under the Pennsylvania and the
United States Constitutions.
6. Said suspension is not supported by the evidence and is
erroneous as a matter of law.
7. Said suspension is unconstitutional in that it violates
due process and equal protection under both the Pennsylvania and
the united States Constitutions.
8. Said suspension is contrary to law.
9. Said suspension should be automatically stayed upon the
filing of this petition and upon timely notice to the Department
of Transportation.
WHEREFORE, your Petitioner respectfully requests that this
appeal be granted and, in the interim, that this Honorable Court
enter a stay of the suspension of Petitioner's operating
privileges pending this appeal.
Respectfully submitted,
