ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Background:
This is direct appeal (de novo) from a final determination of
the Director of the S.C. Retirement System denying the Petitioner’s request to
purchase additional credible time. The time in question is time (approximately
two (2) years) during which the Petitioner worked as an attorney for a legal
aid unit (Palmetto Legal Services (PLS)). The Parties have submitted Statement
of The Case and have proffered various items of evidence. A hearing is set for
the morning of June 22, 2005.
Agreement:
Prior to the call of the case, the Parties announced that an
Agreement had been reached between them. The Agreement is as follows:
1.
That, in the
event that any local legal services grantees in South Carolina are allowed to
participate in the South Carolina Retirement System, the Petitioner shall be
able to purchase his time employed at PLS as though he would have if his
application, which is the subject of this case, had been approved;
2.
That, the matter
will be dismissed without prejudice.
I have reviewed the documents
submitted by the Parties in this matter, including the request for appeal, and
the other submissions. I find that the Agreement set forth above is reasonable
and equitable and should be ratified and included in this, the Administrative Law Court’s Order in the matter.
IT
IS SO ORDERED, AND THIS MATTER IS HEREBY DISMISSED.
