County, Pennsylvania.
2. Your Pelifioner is a licensed motor vehicle operator in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

was being suspended until November 6, 2017 (a copy of said letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A).
4. The restoralion requirements letter contains apparent suspensions for non-existent charges as the
eligibility date on the letter is 2017 but the suspensions and/or revocations indicated add up to 2011.
5. Therefore, the Department of Transportalton apparenlty has suspended/revoked Your Pe~oner
for six years for nofl~existent reasons.
6. Your Pe~ioner believes that such aclion of the Deparlment of Transportalion is illegal, unjust and
improper for reasons which i~ but are not limited to, the following:
(a)
the action of the Department of Transportation con~ a viola'don of
Federal ~ State Consfltr~onal guarantees of due process (substantive
and procedural due process);
(b) Your Petitioner has been suspended/revoked until November 6, 2017
without any authority of the Pa. Motor Vehicle Code;
(c)
Your Petitioner has received a certified copy of his driving history which
is in complete cordlict with the restoration requirements letter (a copy of
said driving history is attached hereto as Exhibit B);
(d)
Your PeflJoner was never given any notice of any suspension for the six
year period of time reflected in the restorations requirement letter and
such action by the Deparlment without nolice and withoutjustiticalJon is
a clear violation of the Motor Vehicle Code.
WHEREFORE, Your Petitioner prays Your Honorable Court to hold a hearing to determine the validity
of the apparent suspension by the Department of Transportation of the PelJlJoner for six years when no such
justification appears in the Pe~oner's driving record.
