ORDER OF REMAND

This matter comes before the Administrative Law Court (ALC or Court) pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. §§ 1-23-310 et seq. (2005), 61-2-260, and 61-4-525 (Supp. 2005) for a contested case hearing. Petitioner seeks the issuance of an off-premises beer and wine permit his location at 100 Summerall Street, Clinton, South Carolina. But for a public protest filed in opposition to the application, the Department of Revenue (Department) would have granted the Petitioner’s request for an off-premises beer and wine permit.

Pursuant to notice to the parties and the Protestant, a hearing was held on August 31, 2006 at the offices of the ALC in Columbia, South Carolina. Petitioner and counsel for the Department of Revenue were present at the hearing. However, the Protestant did not appear at the hearing and did not notify the Court that she would not be appearing. After waiting approximately ten (10) minutes for the Protestant to appear, the Court then commenced the hearing.

Because the Department would have granted the permit but for the protest and the Protestant failed to appear at the hearing,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is remanded to the Department to resume processing Petitioner’s application for an off- premises beer and wine permit.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
