COLLINS : ORDER OF A THREECOMMISSIONER PANEL Applicant : : : : : : {¶ 1} The applicant filed a reparations application seeking reimbursement of expenses incurred in relation to a September 10, 2003 assault incident. On February 17, 2004, the Attorney General denied the applicant s claim pursuant to R.C. 2743.52(A) contending that the applicant failed to prove she incurred economic loss. On February 27, 2004, the applicant filed a request for reconsideration. On April 28, 2004, the Attorney General granted the applicant an award of reparations in the amount of $24.76 for unreimbursed work loss for one day. However, the award was not paid to the applicant since the sum is less than $50.00. On May 6, 2004, the applicant filed a notice of appeal to the Attorney General s April 28, 2004 Final Decision asserting that she incurred an additional day of work loss to attend a mediation hearing concerning the criminal trial. On August 3, 2004, the Attorney General filed a Supplemental Memorandum recommending the applicant be granted a total award in the amount of $51.99 for two days of unreimbursed work loss. Hence, this matter came to be heard before this panel of three commissioners on August 4, 2004 at 10:25 A.M. {¶ 2} Neither the applicant nor anyone on her behalf appeared at the hearing. An Assistant Attorney General attended the hearing and recommended that the applicant be granted Case No. V2004-60482 -1- ORDER a total work loss award in the amount of $51.99, as stated in her August 3, 2004 Supplemental Memorandum. {¶ 3} From review of the file and with full consideration given to all the information presented at the hearing, this panel makes the following determination. We find that the applicant incurred $51.99 for two days of unreimbursed work loss. Therefore, the April 28, 2004 decision of the Attorney General shall be modified to award $51.99 to the applicant for unreimbursed work loss. {¶ 4} IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT {¶ 5} 1) The April 28, 2004 decision of the Attorney General is MODIFIED to render judgment in favor of the applicant in the amount of $51.99; {¶ 6} 2) This claim is referred to the Attorney General pursuant to R.C. 2743.191 for payment of the award; {¶ 7} 3) This order is entered without prejudice to the applicant s right to file a supplemental compensation application, within five years of this order, pursuant to R.C. 2743.68; {¶ 8} 4) Costs are assumed by the court of claims victims of crime fund. _______________________________________ THOMAS H.
