ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This
matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law
Court. The Petitioner requested a contested case hearing following the
Department of Revenue’s denial of the Petitioner’s request for an off premises beer
and wine permit based on the receipt of a valid public protest by Pastor Mickey
Lloyd on behalf of Oates Baptist Church. According to the Department, the
Petitioner met the statutory requirements for the permit and but for the
protest, the permit would have been granted. A hearing was held on February
19, 2009. The protestant failed to show, thus his protest is deemed abandoned.
Because the Department would have granted the permit but for this protest and
this protest has been withdrawn, it is hereby:
ORDERED that this matter is remanded to the Department of Revenue to continue to
process the Petitioner’s application to grant the off premises beer and wine
permit to the Petitioner for the location at Short Trip 7, 3517 Oates Highway
in Lamar, South Carolina.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
