This action involved The Imaging Center's application for a letter of non-applicability determining that the Certificate of

Need Application on January 30, 2001, for the establishment of a diagnostic imaging center to include a CT scanner and
MRI unit pursuant to the Consent Order. Further, Petitioner wishes to withdraw its request for a contested case hearing
challenging DHEC's November 20, 2000, decision revoking its April 8, 1999, letter of non-applicability and requiring
Petitioner to discontinue its operations.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the above-captioned case is hereby dismissed with prejudice.
