On December 17, 2013, the United States
District Court for the District of

months and a day in prison followed by a
one-year period of supervised release.14 In
addition, the court ordered you to pay
$465,000 in restitution and a $100 special
assessment.15
Pursuant to section 54.8(b) of the
Commission’s rules,16 upon your conviction
for theft of E-Rate funds, the Bureau is
required to suspend you from participating in
any activities associated with or related to
the E-Rate program, including the receipt of
funds or discounted services through the ERate program, or consulting with, assisting,
or advising applicants or service providers
regarding the E-Rate program.17 Your
suspension becomes effective upon either
your receipt of this letter or its publication
in the Federal Register, whichever comes
first.18
In accordance with the Commission’s
suspension and debarment rules, you may
contest this suspension or the scope of this
suspension by filing arguments, with any
relevant documents, within thirty (30)
calendar days of your receipt of this letter or
its publication in the Federal Register,
whichever comes first.19 Such requests,
however, will not ordinarily be granted.20
The Bureau may reverse or limit the scope of
a suspension only upon a finding of
extraordinary circumstances.21 The Bureau
will decide any request to reverse or modify
a suspension within ninety (90) calendar
days of its receipt of such request.22
