ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter comes before this tribunal pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp. 1998) and S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-310, et
seq. (Supp. 1998) for a contested case hearing. Petitioner applied for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment
located at 5020 Platt Springs Road, Lexington, South Carolina , South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Revenue does
not oppose Petitioner's application and but for the protests, would have granted the permit.
After timely notice to the parties and protestants, a hearing was held at the Administrative Law Judge Division in Columbia, South
Carolina on July 28, 1999. The protestants of record, Ron Driggers and Linda Driggers, failed to appear at the hearing of this
matter, thereby waiving their protests.
S.C. Code Ann. § 61-4-520 (Supp. 1998) 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
protests, 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 for 5020 Platt Springs Road, Lexington, South Carolina , South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
