ORDER
This matter comes before me pursuant to S. C. Code Ann. §§ 1-23-310, et seq. (Supp. 1996),
1-23-600 (Supp. 1996), and 61-2-260 (Supp. 1996), for a contested case hearing pursuant to a
request by Philip W. White, President, Little General Food Stores, Inc., d/b/a Little General Food
Store # 617 ("Respondent"). Respondent was cited with an administrative violation of S. C. Code
Ann. Regs. 7-9 (B) (Supp. 1996), for allegedly permitting the purchase of beer by a person under
twenty-one (21) years of age on September 27, 1996. The South Carolina Department of Revenue
("Department") issued its Final Determination letter dated June 10, 1997 wherein it seeks a forty-five
(45) day suspension of Respondent's off-premise beer and wine permit.
A hearing was held at the Anderson County Courthouse, Anderson, South Carolina, on
October 16, 1997. At the call of the case, the parties announced to the court that they had resolved
the issues by way of compromise and wished to put their agreement on record.
The terms of the agreement are as follows:
(1) Respondent will pay a One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollar fine;
(2) Respondent agrees to a voluntary suspension of its off-premise beer and wine permit for a period of twenty (20) days; the suspension will begin on the date a copy of this Order is served on Respondent by an agent of the State Law Enforcement Division ("SLED").
It appearing to this court that the parties are ably represented by legal counsel and that the
agreement is fair and reasonable based upon the evidence in the record, it is hereby:
ORDERED that the terms of the agreement stated above are hereby made the Order of this
Court; and it is further
ORDERED that this case is dismissed with prejudice; and it is further
ORDERED that this court retains jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this Order.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
