This matter is here pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp. 2004) and S.C. Code Ann. §§
1-23-310 et seq. (1986 & Supp. 2004) for a contested case hearing. Viresh Patel,
Applicant/Petitioner applied for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment
located at 82-14 Hwy. 101 & 14, Gray Court, South Carolina. In its Agency Transmittal and in a
Motion to be Excused, DOR advised that applicant appears to have met all statutory
requirements, that no controversy exists between applicant and DOR, that DOR has no evidence
to support denying the application, and that DOR would have issued the permit but for the
protestants. Thus, only the protest presented the controversy.
On March 21, 2005, a letter was received from Reverend Patrick Dye, Senior Pastor of Gray
Court Church of God, Protestant, stating that they are withdrawing their protest in the matter.
Accordingly, with no protest existing, the Department of Revenue shall continue to process
Petitioner’s application for an on-premises beer and wine permit for the Papa Oil 2, LLC, d/b/a
Corner Stop #54. 82-14 Hwy. 101 & 14, Gray Court, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
