OPINION ISSUED JANUARY 30, 2001

ATTORNEY GENERAL
VS.
DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS
(CC-00-487)

Claimant appeared pro se.
Joy M. Bolling, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.


PER CURIAM:
This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent's Answer.
Claimant seeks payment in the amount of $25,518.50 for professional services rendered to respondent. The documentation for these services was not processed for payment within the appropriate fiscal year; therefore, claimant has not been paid. In its Amended Answer, respondent admits the validity of the claim, but states that the correct amount owed to claimant is $19,829.75. Respondent further states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year from which the invoices could have been paid. Claimant has reviewed the Amended Answer and agrees that the amount of $19,829.75 is the correct amount owed by respondent.
Accordingly, the Court makes an award to claimant in the amount of $19,829.75.
Award of $19,829.75.
