1Opinion of the Court
GALLAGHER, Associate Judge:
This appeal presents a single issue: whether a chattel mortgagee’s security interest in an automobile prevails over the District of Columbia’s interest in obtaining payment of the registered owner’s unpaid parking tickets. Franklin Investment Co., Inc. (appellee) paid the outstanding tickets under protest in order to repossess the automobile and then sued the District for a refund in Small Claims court. 1 The District of Columbia appeals the $130 judgment entered in favor of Franklin Investment Co. (Franklin Investment) by the court. 2 We affirm.
