{¶ 1} The applicant filed a reparations application seeking reimbursement of expenses
incurred with respect to a May 17, 2003 assault incident. On March 8, 2005, the Attorney
General granted the applicant an award in the amount of $88.86 for unreimbursed work loss. On
April 6, 2005, the applicant filed a request for reconsideration asserting he sustained additional
economic loss. On June 7, 2005, the Attorney General determined that the previous decision
warranted no modification. On July 1, 2005, the applicant filed a notice of appeal to the
Attorney General's June 7, 2005 Final Decision. Hence, this matter came to be heard before this
panel of three commissioners on September 22, 2005 at 11:20 A.M.
{¶ 2} Neither the applicant nor anyone on his behalf appeared at the hearing.
An
Assistant Attorney General attended the hearing and stated that the applicant failed to provide
evidence that he sustained additional economic loss as a result of the criminally injurious
conduct.
{¶ 3} From review of the file and with careful consideration given to all the information
presented at the hearing, we find that the June 7, 2005 decision of the Attorney General shall be
affirmed without prejudice. Should the applicant obtain evidence that he incurred additional
