They did send me a letter stating that they had no record of this.

Fast forward, I went today for my medical renewal. I called ahead to discuss the situation with the AME and he told me to bring the documents with me. He faxed both of the above mentioned documents to someone in Atlanta (apparently theirs an FAA aeromedical office in Atlanta.) they called the doctor back within 30 minutes and said that it could be issued per doctor tilton (I think it was tilton but not sure.) and they told him what to wright in box 60 and told me what to write in box 18. I was surprised what he told me to write in the box, they said to put "No Dui, open container of Alcohol under 21". but the ticket was actually for underage possession of alcohol, not open container. That was it, I got my first class and went on my way.

I hope this is the end of this, do you think I will hear anything else from the FAA of the situation?

Thanks
