PETITION FOR APPEAL
Now comes the Petitioner, Country Corner Rental Center, Inc., by and
through its President, Ronald E. Fink, and sets forth the following.
1.
Petitioner is Country Corner Rental Center, Inc., a Pennsylvania
Corporation, doing business at 20 W. Orange Street, Shippensburg, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
2.
Respondent is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation, doing business in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
3.
On or about October 31, 2000 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
suspended the certificate of appointment as an official inspection station which
had previously been given to Petitioner.
4.
The suspension was given as a result of a finding of alleged fraudulent
record keeping and faulty inspection regarding a 1988 Ford Bronco.
5.
The suspension is not warranted in as much as, the findings of fraudulent
record keeping and faulty inspection are not supported by the evidence.
6.
The Petitioner has lost and will continue to lose customers, money and
good will as a result of the actions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
asks that the Court stay the suspension pending a hearing.
Wherefore, Petitioner prays your Honorable Court dismiss the action
against him and issue a stay of license pending a hearing.
Respectfully submitted,
H. Anthony Adams,
Attorney for Petitioner
