    AMERICAN DECAL & MFG. COMPANY VS. DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND REVENUE
    (CC-97-403)
    Claimant represents self.
    Joy M. Cavallo, 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 $22,657.50 for providing cigarette stamps to respondent in the 1996 fiscal year. The invoice for these stamps was not forwarded to the respondent in the proper fiscal year; therefore, the claimant has not been paid. In its Answer, the respondent admits the validity of the claim, and states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year with which the invoice could have been paid.

In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount of $22,657.50.

Award of $22,657.50.
