ORDERS:
ORDER AND DECISION
This matter comes before the Administrative Law Judge Division pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. 61-1-55, et seq.
(Supp. 1995) and S. C. Code Ann. 1-23-310 et seq. (1986 and Supp. 1995) for a contested case hearing. The Petitioner,
Bobby C. Brown, sought an on-premise beer and wine permit for The Underground Nitelife. A hearing was held on October
31, 1996, in the Administrative Law Judge Division.
The Petitioner was notified of the hearing via certified mail by my Order dated September 17, 1996. However,
after receiving proper notice of the hearing the Petitioner failed to appear and, as of the time of this Order, we have
heard nothing from him. Administrative Law Judge Division Rule 23 provides that a default occurs when a party fails to
appear at a hearing without the proper consent of the judge. The Administrative Law Judge may dismiss a case against
a defaulting party.
The Petitioner did not obtain consent not to appear at the above scheduled hearing.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this case is dismissed with prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
