These items consisted of a radio, chess set, cigarettes and personal care items valued at $50.73.

That Respondent has filed with the Court a stipulation by Respondent as well as a departmental report indicating that the, “Department of Corrections has no evidence to refute the allegations contained in Claimant’s verified complaint.”

Claimant’s prima facie case therefore stand unrebutted.

It is therefore ordered, that Claimant be, and hereby is awarded the sum of $50.73.
