     5  in such system on December 28, 2009, which should have given him Tier IV
     6  status  but  for reasons not ascribable to his own negligence and due to
     7  an administrative error, the application was not processed in the  usual

    16  local employees' retirement system by Scott Goodfellow shall be returned
    17  to him pursuant to this act.
