  ORDER OF DISMISSAL
              The
    above-captioned matter is before the Court upon the request of Petitioner
    Charles T. Johnson for a contested case hearing to challenge the decision of
    Respondent South Carolina Budget and Control Board, South Carolina Retirement
    Systems, that his application for disability retirement benefits was not timely
    filed.  Petitioner now comes before the Court to request that this contested
    case be dismissed with prejudice.  Petitioner has advised the Court that, after
    further consideration, he has decided not to pursue his disability claim. 
    Accordingly, Petitioner has asked the Court to dismiss his disability claim
    with prejudice, but to also specify that such dismissal in no way affects
    Petitioner’s rights to his pension monies and rights otherwise.  Respondent
    consents to Petitioner’s motion and agrees that this dismissal shall not affect
    Petitioner’s pension rights and entitlements in any way except as to his
    disability claim.  Therefore, for good cause shown,  
  IT
    IS HEREBY ORDERED that the above-captioned case is dismissed with prejudice
    pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2), SCRCP, and ALC Rule 68. 
  AND
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
