The Goverment called witness, Janet Carder-Missouri Real Estate Comission (MREC) Executive Director.

Ms. Carder gave testimony about the Real Estate Salesperson Application of Steve Vanatta. The application was received by the MREC on November 29, 2005. The application was returned to applicant for lack of fees.

The application and proper fees were returned to the MREC on December 18, 2005. The application for a Real Estate Salesperson licence in Missouri, requires the disclosure of any civic or felony conviction.

The application for Steven Vanatta failed to disclose any conviction.

Later, Mr. Vanetta faxed the commission a statement about his answer of 'no' regarding any prior convictions.

The admission refers to a felony conviction of Mr. Vanatta.

Atty. Rork (Vanatta) offered that Vanatta was confused as to whether the felony conviction of a check written by his business, constituted answering 'yes' to the question of any felony convictions, on the MREC application.

Ms. Carder testified that an answer of 'yes' of a conviction would not automatically disqualify an applicant for a Missouri real estate license.

PA Kenney re-crossed Ms. Carder.

Asked whether 2 felonies and 2 misdemeanors would be a relevant disclosure for Vanatta's application, Ms Carder replied that it certainly would.
