ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is currently pending before the South Carolina Administrative Law Judge Division. On
September 29, 2000, the Respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss stating that the Petitioner failed to timely file
its Notice of Appeal. The Respondent did not file a response to this Motion.
The Respondent mailed the Final Agency Decision on July 27, 2000. The Respondent received the
Determination on July 31, 2000. The Respondent did not receive the Notice of Appeal until August 31,

ORDERED that the Respondent's Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
