Claimant seeks $9.40 for stamped envelopes that had been taken from her by a correctional officer to be placed in claimant’s personal property bag. Envelopes were placed in a package and then placed on the desk of the Property Officer. Said envelopes have not been found; therefore claimant seeks $9.40 for her loss.
In its Answer, respondent admits the validity of the claim and that the amount [166]*166is fair and reasonable. The Court is aware that respondent does not have a fiscal method for paying claims of this nature; therefore, the claim has been submitted to this Court for determination.
