OPINION ISSUED AUGUST 24, 1999

BATRA CARDIOLOGY ASSOCIATES, INC.
VS.
DIVISION OF JUVENILE SERVICES
(CC-99-155)

Claimant appeared pro se.
C. Scott Mckinney, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

PER CURIAM:
This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and the respondent's Answer.
Claimant seeks $276.00 for providing medical services to a juvenile inmate at the Northern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Wheeling, a facility of the respondent. The documentation for these services was not processed for payment within the appropriate fiscal year; therefore, the claimant has not been paid. In the Answer, respondent admits the validity of this claim as well as the amount, and states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year from which the claim could have been paid.
Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, the Court hereby makes the following award.
Award of $276.00.
