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 James O. Altman.
Based on the Agency Transmittal sent by the Department, but for the public protests, the retail liquor
license would have been granted, once the renovations to the building have been completed and
subject to the final inspection to be performed by the State Law Enforcement Division for the
Department. By letter received at the Court on August 18, 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and the protest has been withdrawn, it is hereby: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; that Order dated August 14, 2003
setting a hearing date of September 2, 2003 is hereby vacated; and
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Department of Revenue issue a retail liquor license
to the Petitioner upon satisfactory completion of a final inspection by the State Law Enforcement
Division for the location at 4012A Fernandina Road, Columbia, SC, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
