ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This
matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law
Court. The Petitioner requested a contested case hearing following the
Department of Revenue’s denial of the Petitioner’s request for a retail liquor
store license based on the receipt of valid public protest as to suitability of
the location by Pastor Kenneth W. Phelps. According to the Department, the Petitioner
met the statutory requirements for the permit and but for the protest, the
permit would have been granted. The Protestant notified the Court by letter
dated November 21, 2007 that he wished to withdraw his protest. Because the
Department would have granted the permit but for the protest and the protest
has been withdrawn, the issues before the Court are now moot. Therefore, it is
hereby:
ORDERED that this matter is remanded to the Department of Revenue to continue to
process the Petitioner’s application and issue a retail liquor store license to
the Petitioner for the location at the Taylor Package Shop, 18535 Heritage
Hwy., Denmark, South Carolina.
IT
IS FURTHER ORDERED that the caption in this matter be amended from the
incorrect caption which lists the Petitioner as Linda J. Taylor, d/b/a Taylor
Package Store, to the above caption, which accurately states the name of the
Petitioner.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
