against the Defendant in any such prosecution.
5. This document states the complete and only plea

NO. 94-4641 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
ltLRE: SUSPE.tWQN OF MQIOR VEHICLE OPERA~LEGES
QfINIQN
HOFFER, J,:
This case Is an appeal of the six month suspension of the petitioner's
motor vehicle operation privileges.
On October 15. 1993, the petitioner was arrested for violating ~ 780-
113(a)(30) of the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act, 35
Pa.C.S,A. ~ 780-113(a)(30), (hereinafter Act). On March 29, 1994, the petitioner
entered a plea of nolo contendere to his violations of the Act and, as a result of
the no contest plea, on August 4, 1994, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation suspended the petitioner's motor vehicle operating privileges, The
notice of suspension provided: · As a result of your conviction on 7/19/1994 of
violating Section 13A30 of the VehIcle Code, Delivery of CTRL SUB on 7/01/1992,
your driving privilege Is being SUSPENDED for a period of six month(s) as
mandated by Section 1532 C of the Vehicle Code.' (Notice of suspension at 1)
(emphasis added).
"
94-4641 CIVIL TERM
This notice of suspension Inaccurately lists the statute which the
petitioner had violated. Section 13A30 of the Vehicle Code does not exist, and the
petitioner contends that the notice of suspension, listing a non-existent section of
the Vehicle Code, was not sufficient to notify him of the grounds upon which his
suspension was based. As there was no proper notification, the petitioner asserts
that the suspension of his license occurred In violation of his due process rights.
Furthermore, the petitioner contends that a plea of nolo contendere Is not a
.convlctlon. under the Act which would permit the suspension of his driver's
license.
Dlscusslgn
It must be noted Initially that a notice of suspension serves the function
of a pleading In a license suspension proceeding. Pennsvlvanla Deoartment of
TransDortatlon, Bureau of Driver L1censlna v, Balloch, 143 Pa. Commonwealth 637,
508 A,2d 110 (1991). As a general rule, where the proofs presented at trial vary
from the allegations of the pleadings, the party with the burden of proof must
amend Its pleadings to conform to the proof. .Qllil...Q.f Washlnaton v. Johns, 81 Pa,
Commonwealth 601, 474 A.2d 1199 (1984). This rule holds true where the
variance between proof and pleading Is material, but is not applied to require
amendments to pleadings where the variance between proof and pleading Is
2
94-4641 CIVIL TERM
Immaterial. la, at 604,474 A.2d at 1202, The Issue before this Court Is, therefore,
whether the Incorrect citation of the Controlled Substance Act In the notice of
suspension was a material error.
In asserting that the error In the notice of suspension was material, the
petitioner cites the opinion of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court In Sutton v.
Commonwealth Deoartment otJranspor1atlon, _ Pa, Commonwealth _,641 A.2d
34 (1994). The Sutton case Involved a license suspension Imposed as a result of
a refusal to submit to chemical testing. la, at _, 641 A,2d at 35. As in the Instant
case, the Notice of Suspension In Sutton contained erroneous Infonnatlon. la. at
-,641 A.2d at 36. More specifically, the notice of suspension In Sutton Incorrectly
stated the date that Mr, Sutton had refused to submit to chemical testlng.1 Noting
that
each and every Instance of refusal [to
submit to chemical testing] constitutes
a separate and cognizable basis for suspension
, . , [and that] the date alleged in the notice
of suspension Is the ~ way In which PennDOT
identifies the refusal for which It Is attempting
to revoke a driver's license,
the Court in Sutton concluded that a mistake with regard to the date of refusal was
'The Notice of Suspension Indicated that Sutton had refused to submit to
testing on February 4, 1993, when the refusal had actually occurred on February
3. ~ at _, 641 A.2d at 36,
3
.'
94-4641 CIVIL TERM
material. Sutton at _,641 A,2d at 37, (emphasis added.)
The Instant case Is distinguishable. The notice of suspension In this
case provided a specification of the violation, (DELIVERY OF CTRL SUB) and
Indicated the date of conviction and the date of arrest. Viewing these facts
together we conclude that the error contained In the notice of suspension was not
material and that the notice was sufficient to apprise the petitioner of the charge
underlying the suspension of his license. Accordingly we find that PennDOT's
suspension of the petitioner's license did not violate due process notice
requirements, ~ l:Iughes v, Pa, Board oLProbation and ~, 81 Pa,
Commonwealth 87, 473 A,2d 225 (1984) holding that variance In the location of an
alleged parole violation Is not material when the violation Is Identified not only by
where It took place but also by the date of arrest, the date of conviction and a
specification of the violation.)
In addressing the petitioner's contention that a nolo contendere plea
does not amount to a conviction for purposes of license suspension, we note that
the suspension of a driver's license Is a direct criminal penalty resulting from a
violation of the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act,
Commonweallh Deel. ofTranseort~tlon v. Cassld}'. 156 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 11,
628 A,2d 1179 (1993), Additionally, we note that a plea of nolo contendere Is
4
94.4641 CIVIL TERM
tantamount to a guilty plea with regard to its effect on a particular case,
. 426 Pa. Superior Ct,. 626 A.2d 163 WJgQ. ~, _ Pa.
_. 636 A,2d 633 (1993), As the petitioner has entered a plea of nolo
contendere and as this plea has the effect of a guilty plea with regard to
sentencing In this case, we find that Penn DOT's suspension of the petitioner's
license was proper. For the foregoing reasons, the order suspending the
petitioner's operating privileges is sustained,
