US Energy Window & Door hearing continued to April 22 after evidentiary objections and deferred motion

A disciplinary hearing for US Energy Window & Door, LLC (License No. 82830) was continued to April 22, 2026, after procedural disputes and sworn testimony at the State Contractors Board meeting on March 25, 2026.

Respondent’s counsel objected to the inclusion of documents related to settlement negotiations in the Akiyama matter. The minutes record sworn testimony from Board Compliance Supervisor Damien Bilyeu, US Energy manager Todd Kralik, Respondent Michael E. White, Jr., and Compliance Investigators Carl Hilbish and David Heitman. The Administrative Law Judge stated that "the issue remains under consideration and the Board's authority may extend to fraudulent conduct tangential to construction activity," and deferred ruling on a motion for a directed verdict filed by respondents’ counsel as to complainant Mark Herder.

Multiple documentary exhibits and numbered photo exhibits were admitted for the record across the three related case numbers (case-specific exhibit ranges and photo exhibits were listed in the minutes). Subpoenaed records and document productions were also listed (BATES WHITE 0001-0062; BATES WHITE 0063-0179; emails). After a brief off-the-record meeting between counsel (10:27 a.m. to 10:39 a.m.), the parties agreed to continue the hearing for 30 days to April 22, 2026; the Board will issue a notice for that hearing. The minutes close by recording adjournment of the disciplinary session at 11:57 a.m.

The ALJ stayed final determination on jurisdiction and the merits of allegations concerning fraud and misrepresentation until his Decision and Order.
