whose name and telephone number is provided
by the non-resident to verify legal residence. The
person contacted must live in the county, State or
country to which the nonresident wishes to return.
2) Document the information received by the
telephone call in the Case Comments Section.
3) Request the Transportation Unit to make travel
arrangements, if the nonresident has not been
returned within one year.
4) Deny the nonresident’s request, if he/she has
been returned to his/her residence within one
year. Refer to Deny an Application for LEADER
procedures on case denial.
5) Complete a PA 304, obtain the Deputy District
Director’s signature and fax the PA 304 to the
Transportation Unit at (213) 637-2625.

confirmation of arrangements with the carrier, the
Transportation Unit calls the District Contact
person listed on the PA 304 form to provide the
travel information. The district will receive a
confirmation copy to file in the case record.
7) Contact the nonresident to inform him/her of the
arrangements and determine if he/she is ready to
leave.
