ORDERS:
ORDER OF DEFAULT AS TO SSN, Inc., SKS, Inc. and TIMOTHY R. SEBOLD
This matter is before me based on a Petition for Injunctive Relief filed by the Petitioner. On September 14, 2006, the Petitioner filed a Motion for Default or Judgment on the Pleadings alleging that SSN, Inc., SKS, Inc. and Timothy R. Sebold had failed to answer or appear in this matter. No response to this motion was received. On December 13, 2006, the Petitioner renewed this motion, with an accompanying affidavit and attachments which verify that the Respondents SSN, Inc., SKS, Inc. and Timothy R. Sebold had actual knowledge of the action pending at the SC Department of Consumer Affairs, yet failed to act. In addition, the address used by the Department to correspond with the corporate respondents is that listed with the SC Secretary of State’s office for service on the corporations.
“The administrative law judge may dismiss a contested case...adverse to the defaulting party. A default occurs when a party fails to plead or otherwise prosecute or defend,...or fails to comply with an interlocutory order of the administrative law judge.” ALC Rule 23.
It appearing that the Respondents SSN, Inc., SKS, Inc. and Timothy R. Sebold have defaulted in this matter, this case is hereby DISMISSED as to these parties.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
