ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before the Court based on the issuance of Administrative Violation and the South Carolina Department of Revenue's
(Department) Final Determination to Respondent the Pantry citing a violation of 23 SC Code Ann. Resg 7-9(B) which occurred on or
about May 25, 1999. Respondent appealed the Department's Determination seeking review of the violation charged and the penalties
imposed. It appears the Department and the Respondent have resolved all issues in this case without the necessity of a hearing. Their
resolution is incorporated in this Order.
1. The Respondent has consented to a ninety (90) day suspension of its beer and wine permit and has agreed to pay a penalty in the
amount of Sixteen Hundred and 00/100 ($1600.00) Dollars. The ninety day suspension commences immediately, with the first date
of suspension being the day of mailing, or surrender, of the beer and wine permit to the Department of Revenue. The monetary
penalty is due September 22, 2000, which is ten (10) days from the date of the scheduled hearing in this matter. The Department, in
turn, will not seek the revocation of the Respondent's permit.
2. The parties further agree that as it pertains to the above-captioned case, this consitutes the full and final resolution of this matter
between the Department and the Respondent.
3. Accordingly, the Respondent has withdrawn its request for a contested case hearing.
I find the agreement between the Department and the Respondents to be fair and equitable, approve the agreement, and hereby Order
its adoption. The Court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Order. Therefore, in consideration of the
foregoing, this case is dismissed.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
