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 an off premises beer
and wine permit based on the receipt of valid public protest as to suitability
of the location by the following protestants: Carriage Properties, Thomas
Bennett, Alton Brown, Olin Chamberlain, Lynn Hanlin, Richard Halsey, Sharon
Kucharski, Melinda Laurens, Jane S. Smith, Charles Sullivan, and Judy Tarleton.
According to the Department, the Petitioner met the statutory requirements for
the permit and but for the protest, the permit would have been granted. Each
of the aforementioned Protestants notified the Court by letter dated June 17,
2008 that they wished to withdraw their protests. Because the Department would
have granted the permit but for this protest and this protest has been
withdrawn, it is hereby:
ORDERED that this matter is remanded to the Department of Revenue to continue to
process the Petitioner’s application to renew the off premises beer and wine
permit to the Petitioner for the location at The Charleston Beer Exchange, 14
Exchange Street in Charleston, South Carolina.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
