PETITIONER'S MOTION TO CANCEL THE DECEMBER 2008 HEARING
NOW COMES Petitioner, FOX MORAINE LLC, by its attorneys, George Mueller and
Charles
F. Helsten, seeking leave pursuant to 35 TIL Adm. Code 510, to cancel the Hearing in
this matter currently scheduled
to begin on December 16, 2008, stating as follows:
1.
Approximately two weeks ago, Mr. Donald Hamman, a material principal and
owner
of Petitioner, Fox Moraine, LLC, became ill and sought medical attention, whereupon it
was discovered that he had significant blockage in all four arteries
of the heart.
2.
Mr. Hamman has accordingly been scheduled to undergo quadruple bypass open
heart surgery on November 21, 2008.
3.
Mr. Hamman's physicians have indicated that in the aftermath of surgery, during
the post-surgical recovery period
Mr. Hamman must avoid all stressful activities for at least sixty
days, and possibly longer.
4.
Mr. Hamman's presence and participation in the Hearing on this matter is crucial,
and Petitioner will suffer material prejudice
if the Hearing is not canceled and re-scheduled for a
later date.
5.
Petitioner therefore requests that the current Hearing be cancelled, and that the
Hearing Officer conduct a status conference in about sixty days to further assess
Mr. Hamman's
70580997vl 62168
Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, November 13, 2008
ability to participate.
6.
This request to cancel arises from circumstances beyond the movant's control, and
is not the result
of a lack of diligence.
7.
Because the instant motion is being made more than ten (10) days in advance of
the hearing, the Hearing Officer is authorized to cancel the hearing pursuant to 35 TIL Adm. Code
101.510. There is Board precedent for granting a motion
to cancel hearings due to serious illness
of a principal.
See, e.g., People
v.
Community Landfill Co. et at.,
PCB 03-191 (October 3,2006).
8.
Affidavits including the factual basis for this request to cancel, as well as medical
information from
Mr. Hamman'sphysician, will follow shortly.
9.
In
the event the instant motion is granted and the Hearing is re-scheduled for a
date some time after February
1, 2009, Petitioner will extend the decision deadline to and
including August
6, 2009.
