Procedural History

Issued and entered this ,;1 ~ day of April, 2017

by Shawn Downey

Administrative Law Judge

PROPOSAL FOR DECISION

This matter commenced with the Respondent's ORDER OF SUMMARY SUSPENSION AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REVOKE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER LICENSE, dated January 20, 2017, issued against the Petitioner's license to act as a law enforcement officer in the State of Michigan, pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcements Standards Act, 203 PA 1965, as amended, being MCL 28.601 et seq. The Order included an opportunity to show compliance.

Following the issuance of the Order of Summary Suspension, the Michigan Administrative Hearing System (MAHS) issued a Notice of Hearing, dated February 15, 2017. A hearing was scheduled on Respondent's allegations, and was held on March 16, 2017, beginning at 9:00a.m. The Notice of Hearing was mailed to the Petitioner's last known address. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards notified the Michigan Administrative Hearing System that Mr. Scheiding reported a new address; however, on March 16, 2017, it could not be ascertained with certainty that the Notice of Hearing was sent to Mr. Scheiding's new address. As a result, the hearing on March 16, 2017, as adjourned and rescheduled to April 26, 2017 and a new Order for Continuance was issued on March 21, 2017, providing notice of the new hearing date which was sent to Mr. Scheiding's new address.

Page 4: v...Administrative Hearing System to be hereunto affixed this Wednesday, May 24, 2017. Date Document 1. 04/28/17 Proposal for Decision 2. 04/26/17 Respondent' Exhibits 1+2 3. …

Docket No. 17-002979 Page 2

The hearing was reconvened on April 26, 2017, and conducted at the Michigan Administrative Hearing System, Ottawa State Office Building, 611 W. Ottawa Street, Lansing, Michigan, to commence at 9:00A.M.

Appearances:

Petitioner, John Dwight Scheiding, failed to appear for the hearing.

Respondent was represented by John Szczubelek, Assistant Attorney General.

The hearing in this matter was scheduled to commence at 9:00 A.M., however the opening was delayed because the Petitioner failed to appear. At 9:35A.M., the record was opened. Upon opening, the Respondent moved to continue the hearing in the absence of Petitioner and for entry of default for Petitioner's non-appearance. Both motions by Respondent were granted.

Exhibits

At the hearing, Respondent's counsel offered two (2) exhibits that were admitted into the record:

1. A one-page print out from the MCOLES Information and Tracking Network entitled, "Individual Identification Report" indicating that John Dwight Scheiding, born October 22, 1987, was originally licensed as a law enforcement officer on June 18, 2014.

2. A Certified Judgment of Sentence from the 131h Judicial Circuit Court, based upon Petitioner's plea of guilty entered on June 20, 2016, and sentenced on July 22, 2016 for:

a) Distribution of Obscene Matter to a Minor Child, a violation of MCL 722.675, a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, or a fine of not more than $10,000.00, or both; and,

b) Willful Neglect of Duty by a Public Officer, a violation of MCL 750.478, a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $1 ,000.00.

Petitioner offered no exhibits.

No witnesses testified at hearing.

Docket No. 17-002979 Page 3

Issues and Applicable Law

Section 9b of the Act, being MCL 28.609b, allows the Respondent to revoke the Petitioner's certificate. Subsection 12 provides:

(12) The commission shall revoke a license granted under this section for any of the following circumstances and shall promulgate rules governing revocations under this subsection:

(a) The individual obtained the license by making a materially false oral or written statement or committing fraud in an affidavit, disclosure, or application to a law enforcement training academy, the commission, or a law enforcement agency at any stage of recruitment, selection, appointment, enrollment, training, or licensure application.

Findings of Fact

Based upon the record, including the pleadings, as well as the exhibits entered into the record, I make the following findings of fact:

1. John Dwight Scheiding, DOB: 10-22-1987, was originally licensed as a police officer on June 18, 2014, and as a result, Petitioner was subject to the provisions of the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act. (See Respondent's Exhibit 1 ).

2. On June 20, 2016, John Dwight Scheiding entered guilty pleas to a felony and a misdemeanor in the 13th Judicial Circuit Court for Grand Traverse County. (See Respondent's Exhibit 2). The felony was punishable by up to two years of prison.

3. Petitioner's adjudication of the offenses defined in Section 9b(12) of the Act, being MCL 28.609b(12) supports the revocation of the Petitioner's certification.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

The principles that govern judicial proceedings also apply to administrative hearings. Callaghan's Michigan Pleading and Practice §60.248, at 230 (2d ed. 1994). The burden of proof is upon the Respondent to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence that grounds exist for the imposition of sanctions upon the Petitioner.

Based upon the findings of fact and the exhibits offered by the Respondent, the Respondent has established by a preponderance of the evidence that the Petitioner

Page 6: v...Administrative Hearing System to be hereunto affixed this Wednesday, May 24, 2017. Date Document 1. 04/28/17 Proposal for Decision 2. 04/26/17 Respondent' Exhibits 1+2 3. …

Docket No. 17-002979 Page4

was adjudicated for at least one of the offenses listed in Section 9b(12) of the Act, being MCL 28.609b(12).

Therefore, the issuance of an Order of Summary Suspension was appropriate pursuant to 1999 AC, R 28.14604 and to protect public health, safety and welfare from the danger of a certified law enforcement officer carrying on in that capacity while adjudicated on an offense listed in MCL 28.609b(12).
