ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law Judge Division. By my Order for Prehearing
Statements dated July 24, 2000, all parties were required to file Prehearing Statements within fifteen (15) days. The Department of
Revenue filed its Prehearing Statement on July 31, 2000. The Petitioner failed to file a Prehearing Statement within the required
time. By certified letter dated August 22, 2000, the Petitioner was granted an additional ten (10) days within which to file her
Prehearing Statement. The Petitioner has failed to file a Prehearing Statement or request a continuance from the Court. The
Petitioner is, therefore, in default.
Rule 23 of the Rules of the Administrative Law Judge Division provides that "The Administrative Law Judge may dismiss a
contested case or dispose of a contested case adverse to the defaulting party. A default occurs when a party . . . fails to comply with
any interlocutory order." For good cause shown, it is hereby
ORDERED that this matter is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
