ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law Judge
Division. This matter involves the denial of the Petitioner’s request for a retail liquor license by the
Department of Revenue based on a public protest as to suitability of the location by Dr. John B.
Hilton, Jr., Principal of Millwood Elementary School in Sumter, South Carolina. Based on the
Agency Transmittal sent by the Department, but for the public protests, the retail liquor license
would have been granted. By letter received by counsel for the Department on February 26, 2003,
the aforementioned Protestant withdrew his protest. Because the Department would have granted
the permit but for the protest, and the protest has been withdrawn, it is hereby:
ORDERED that this matter is dismissed with prejudice; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Department of Revenue issue a retail liquor license
to the Petitioner for the location at 12 Pinewood Rd. Sumter, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
