v.
CIVIL ACTION--LA W
BENJAMIN AARON PAXTON,
Appellant
: LICENSE SUSPENSION APPEAL
APPEAL FROM LICENSE SUSPENSION
1. On or about October 25, 2000, Appellee, Bureau of Driver Licensing, notified Appellant,
Bel1jamin Aaron Paxton, that his operating privilege would be suspended due to a conviction entered
on October 15,2000 for violating g3736(a) of the Vehicle Code (Reckless Driving).
2. Upon receipt of the original citation in the mail, Appellant entered a "not guilty" plea and
notified ,he District Justice's office of his new mailing address.
3. The District Justice's office forwarded a hearing notice to Appellant by certified mail to the
new address.
4. Despite the fact that Appellant lived at the address, the Post Office returned the trial notice
to the District Justice's office with a notation of "attempted-not known."
5. The District Justice's office took no further action in attempting to notify Appellant of the
hearing date.
6. On October 17, 2000, the District Justice conducted a summary trial without the presence
of Appellant and thereafter found him guilty of the charge.
I ' 1. Appellant was never aware of the scheduling of the hearing date until he received notice
from Appellee that his license would be suspended.
, . , 8. The conviction is invalid since Appellant was denied his due process rights to be notified
that a heering has been scheduled' at his request.
"
"
WHEREFORE, Appellant requests this Court to schedule a hearing in this matter and
thereafter rule that the underlying conviction does not support the suspension of his driving
privileges.
Respectfully submitted,

RE: PemIDot v. Benjamin Aaron Paxton
No. 00-8253 Civil Term
Dear Judge OIer:
The underlying conviction in the above matter for reckless driving has been
),-,solved with a plea to careless driving. Therefore, PemIDot will need to adjust their
e,:'>:>rds accordingly. As it appears that this matter has been resolved, it will not be
l1ecessary to hold the hearing currently scheduled for February 8, 2001 at 2:45 p.m.
Ikwever, after discussing the matter with George Kabusk, Esquire, we would request that
Mhearing date be rescheduled for June or July to allow PemIDot to properly enter the
careless driving conviction and thereafter I would withdraw the appeal. Thank you for
your kind consideration in this matter. If you have any questions, or need any further
information, please do not hesitate to contact either party.
Sincerely yours,
0!?V/
James K. Jones
