ORDERS:
ORDER
This matter comes before this tribunal pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp.
1996) and S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-310, et seq. (Supp. 1996) for a contested case hearing.
Petitioner Felipe Orozco applied for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment at
1030 By Pass 72, Greenwood, South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Revenue does
not oppose Petitioner's application and pursuant to motion of its counsel, Arlene Hand, the
Department was excused from appearing at the hearing.
After timely notice to the parties and protestant, a hearing was held at the Administrative
Law Judge Division in Columbia, South Carolina on March 10, 1998. The protestant of record,
Harold Burton, failed to appear at the hearing of this matter, thereby waiving his protest.
S.C. Code Ann. § 61-4-520 (Supp. 1996) establishes the criteria for the issuance of a beer
and wine permit. In its Agency Transmittal, the Department advised this tribunal that Petitioner
appears to have met all statutory requirements, and but for the protest, the Department would
have issued the permit.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Department of Revenue shall continue to
process Petitioner's application for an on-premises beer and wine permit at 1030 By Pass 72,
Greenwood, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
