On May 11, 2006, the Attorney General denied the claim pursuant to R.C. 2743.60(E) contending that the applicant engaged in felonious conduct since she was recently arrested for felony Deception to Obtain Dangerous Drugs. On May 22, 2006, the applicant filed a request for reconsideration. On June 5, 2006, the Attorney General determined that no modification of the previous decision was warranted. On June 23, 2006, the applicant filed a notice of appeal to the Attorney General s June 5, 2006 Final Decision. On November 16, 2006, the Attorney General filed a supplemental memorandum recommending the Final Decision be reversed and the matter be remanded to the Attorney General for economic loss calculations, since the felony charge against the Case No. V2006-20593 -1- ORDER applicant was dismissed. Hence, this matter came to be heard before this panel of three commissioners on November 16, 2006 at 11:00 A.M. {¶2} Neither the applicant nor anyone on her behalf appeared at the hearing.
