personal check or cash withdrawal from a bank account) used to
purchase the cashier’s check. Petitioner’s April 28, 1997,
response letter stated: “Richard’s med expenses were paid by
cash so I only have the Dr. receipt that I turned in.”
On May 8, 1997, respondent sent a third communication
informing petitioner that “information provided from Trinity
Baptist Church indicates that they did not receive any
contributions from you during 1994” and that “the information you
provided on the casualty loss is insufficient to verify that a
loss was sustained and due to a casualty or theft. A list of
items prepared by you does not, by itself constitute
verification.” Petitioner once again responded by letter on May
17, 1997. With regard to the contributions, she wrote: “My
charitable contributions to Trinity Baptist Church was anonymous.
That was my agreement with the church.” Concerning the casualty
loss, she said: “Because an earthquake is not a criminal matter
I could not file a police report, to verify my losses. The items
I lost were too expensive for me to replace at one time so
therefore I don’t have a cancelled check.”
When the matter came to trial, petitioner appeared and
stated: “I don’t want to go any further with this.” She left
the courtroom prior to the presentation of any evidence or
testimony.
