Description
Richard Garver, a registered livestock dealer under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 7 U.S.C. ร§ร§ 201(d) & 203 (the Act), caused a loss of over $700,000 to other parties in the livestock business. After a hearing, an Agriculture Department administrative law judge found that Garver failed to meet the solvency requirements of the Act in violation of 7 U.S.C. ร§ 204; that he willfully violated the fair trade practice requirements of the Act, 7 U.S.C. ร§ 213(a); and that he willfully violated the prompt pay mandate of the Act, 7 U.S.C. ร§ 228b. Although the Packers and Stockyards Administration asked that Garver be suspended for two years, the ALJ determined that a thirty-day suspension, coupled with an arrangement whereby Garver would continue operating under the bond of another dealer in an attempt to pay off his debts, would be a sufficient sanction. The Packers and Stockyard Administration appealed, and the Agriculture Department Judicial Officer, the Secretarys designate for these purposes, imposed a two-year suspension as a sanction. See 7 C.F.R. ร§ร§ 1.142(c), 1.145(i), 2.35.
