NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Muhaznmad Elbaba
Maryland Avenue Foods
1541 Maryland Avenue East
Saint Paui, Minnesota 55106-2931
RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Muhanunad Eibaba, d/b/a Maryland Avenue Foods
for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul
License ID #: 19980000538
Dear Mr. Elbaba:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the cigarette/tobacco license held by Muhammad Elbaba, d/b/a Maryland
Avenue Foods for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. The basis
for the recommendation is as follows:
On February 8, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was
conducted at the premises of Maryland Avenue Foods located
at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. A seventeen year
old male entered the store and showed his identification, which
correctly stated his date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold
him a package of Marlboro lights. Sale of tobacco to an
underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint
Paul Legislative Code §324.07
Since this is a first violation, the licensing office will recommend a$200.00 fine.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish to have a public hearing, you will
need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the
fine will be considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you are entitled.

2. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearing
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your
letter by Monday, March 19, 2001. The matter wiil then be scheduled before the City
Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have
an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf.
3. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative
Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present
witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council
will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
Peter Pangborn, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative
hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from you by Monday, March 19, 2001, we will assume that you
do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have
it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended penalty will be imposed.
Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as having made the sale on this date is
also being chazged an administrative penalty pursuant to Minn. Stat. §461.12, subd. 3. This is a
separate action from this license matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at (651) 266-8710.
Sincerely,

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Maryland Avenue Foods
1541 Maryland Avenue East
Saint Paui, Minnesota 55106-2931
RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Muhanunad Eibaba, d/b/a Maryland Avenue Foods
for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul
License ID #: 19980000538
Dear Mr. Elbaba:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the cigarette/tobacco license held by Muhammad Elbaba, d/b/a Maryland
Avenue Foods for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. The basis
for the recommendation is as follows:
On February 8, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was
conducted at the premises of Maryland Avenue Foods located
at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. A seventeen year
old male entered the store and showed his identification, which
correctly stated his date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold
him a package of Marlboro lights. Sale of tobacco to an
underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint
Paul Legislative Code §324.07
Since this is a first violation, the licensing office will recommend a$200.00 fine.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish to have a public hearing, you will
need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the
fine will be considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you are entitled.

2. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearing
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your
letter by Monday, March 19, 2001. The matter wiil then be scheduled before the City
Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have
an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf.
3. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative
Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present
witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council
will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
Peter Pangborn, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative
hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from you by Monday, March 19, 2001, we will assume that you
do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have
it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended penalty will be imposed.
Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as having made the sale on this date is
also being chazged an administrative penalty pursuant to Minn. Stat. §461.12, subd. 3. This is a
separate action from this license matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at (651) 266-8710.
Sincerely,

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Muhaznmad Elbaba
Maryland Avenue Foods
1541 Maryland Avenue East
Saint Paui, Minnesota 55106-2931
RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Muhanunad Eibaba, d/b/a Maryland Avenue Foods
for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul
License ID #: 19980000538
Dear Mr. Elbaba:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection has recommended
adverse action against the cigarette/tobacco license held by Muhammad Elbaba, d/b/a Maryland
Avenue Foods for the premises located at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. The basis
for the recommendation is as follows:
On February 8, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was
conducted at the premises of Maryland Avenue Foods located
at 1541 Maryland Avenue East in Saint Paul. A seventeen year
old male entered the store and showed his identification, which
correctly stated his date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold
him a package of Marlboro lights. Sale of tobacco to an
underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint
Paul Legislative Code §324.07
Since this is a first violation, the licensing office will recommend a$200.00 fine.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish to have a public hearing, you will
need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the
fine will be considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you are entitled.

2. Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearing
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your
letter by Monday, March 19, 2001. The matter wiil then be scheduled before the City
Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have
an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your own behalf.
3. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative
Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present
witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council
will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
Peter Pangborn, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative
hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from you by Monday, March 19, 2001, we will assume that you
do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council and have
it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended penalty will be imposed.
Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as having made the sale on this date is
also being chazged an administrative penalty pursuant to Minn. Stat. §461.12, subd. 3. This is a
separate action from this license matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at (651) 266-8710.
Sincerely,
r
