CONSENT ORDER

This matter came before the Administrative Law Judge Division by request of Respondent on July 25, 1995. It is a contested case, consisting of an appeal of a recommendation of Suspension of Emergency Medical Technician Certification issued to Petitioner, for the period of one (1) year.

By and between the parties, the following is agreed:

1. Concerning the incident which gave rise to the present action, Petitioner failed to follow certain internal procedures, but this failure had no impact on the patient's condition, nor on the ultimate outcome concerning the patient.

2. Petitioner was appropriately disciplined internally by Richland County, in the form of a suspension.

3. Petitioner has also received remedial training in response to the incident at issue.

4. Both parties mutually agree that this matter has been adequately addressed, and that no further action is deemed necessary or warranted.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this action is hereby dismissed, with prejudice, as all questions of law and fact between Petitioner and Respondent have been resolved.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
