ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This
matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law
Court. This matter involves the denial of the Petitioners’ request for an off
premises beer and wine permit by the Department of Revenue based on public
protests as to suitability of the location by Oralee Britton, Jean Curtis,
Samuel Curtis, Laura Ellison, Charles Joe, Sharon Joe, Rumette Johnson, Vidalia
McTeer, Gladys Nathaniel, Robert Pringle, Dorine Pringle, Lucille Rogers,
Dorothy Toney, and Castelia Wilson. Based on the Agency Information Sheet sent
by the Department, but for the public protests, the off-premises beer and wine
permit would have been granted.
The
hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, June, 27, 2007 and notice was sent to the
parties and the protestants. At the call of the case, none of the protestants
were present. The court recessed for fifteen minutes to allow additional time
for the protestants to appear, but they failed to do so. Because the Department
would have granted the permit but for the protests and the protest has been
abandoned, it is hereby:
ORDERED that this matter is dismissed with prejudice; and
IT
IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Department of Revenue issue an off-premises
beer and wine permit to the Petitioner for the location at 741 N. Main Street,
Sumter, South Carolina.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
