ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Grievance No. Lieber-0362-00

I. Introduction





This matter is an appeal by Wiley G. Ouzts (Ouzts). Pursuant to that appeal, an order dated October 27, 2000 directed Ouzts to file an Appellant's Brief by January 8, 2001. However, no brief has been received as of the date of this order.

II. Analysis





ALJDTR Rule 65 provides as follows:

Upon motion of any party, or on its own motion, an Administrative Law Judge may dismiss an appeal for failure to comply with any of the rules of procedure for appeals, including the failure to comply with any of the time limits provided by this section (VI).

Sparkman has had ample time in which to comply with the order of June 7, 2000. See Georganne Apparel, Inc. v. Todd, 303 S.C. 87, 92, 399 S.E.2d 16, 19 (Ct. App. 1990) ("There is a limit beyond which the court should not allow a litigant to consume the time of the court . . . ."). Accordingly, this matter is dismissed for failure to file an Appellant's Brief.

III. Order





Based on the foregoing, the appeal of Wiley G. Ouzts is dismissed.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED
