    WEST GROUP, A THOMSON COMPANY VS. DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS
    (CC-01-443)
    Claimant appeared pro se.
    
    Daynus Jividen, Senior 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 $161.00 for providing legal reference books to Pruntytown Correctional Center, a facility of respondent in Taylor County. The documentation for these books was not processed for payment within the appropriate fiscal year; therefore, claimant has not been paid. In its Answer, respondent admits the validity of the claim as well as the amount, and states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year from which the invoice could have been paid.

Accordingly, the Court makes an award to claimant in the amount of $161.00.

Award of $161.00.
