FINAL ORDER AND DECISION

This matter was scheduled for a hearing on the merits concerning the Petitioner's request for an on-premises beer and wine permit for 1:00 p.m., Thursday, July 20, 2000 at the Administrative Law Judge Division. Notice of the time, date, place, and subject matter of the hearing was timely sent to all parties, including Chief Tommy Langley of the McColl Police Department, a Protestant. At the call of the case, all parties except the Protestant were present. The Court recessed for approximately twenty minutes and reconvened. The Protestant was not present, nor had the Protestant contacted the court.

But for the public protest about the suitability of the location, the Department of Revenue would have granted the Petitioner's request for an on-premises beer and wine permit. Because the Protestant failed to appear for the hearing, his protest is deemed abandoned. Therefore, it is hereby

ORDERED that the Petitioner's request for an on-premises beer and wine permit is GRANTED.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
