CONSENT ORDER
This matter was initiated by a citation issued by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) against Respondent,
Li'l Cricket Food Stores, Inc. (Li'l Cricket), for a violation of 23 S.C. Code Ann. Regulation 7-9(B) (Supp. 1999), for
"permitting purchase of beer by an individual under the age of twenty-one," on March 8, 2000. The South Carolina
Department of Revenue (Department) issued its Final Department Determination sustaining this violation and imposing a
forty-five day suspension of Li'l Cricket's beer and wine permit, BG081961. Li'l Cricket appealed the matter and it was
transmitted to the Administrative Law Judge Division (Division).
Prior to the hearing on this matter, the parties entered into an agreement resolving the matter. That agreement is incorporated
in this Order.
The agreement between the parties is as follows:
1. For the violation on March 8, 2000, Lil Cricket surrendered its beer and wine permit to the Department for service of a
forty-five day suspension. This suspension began October 23, 2000, and will continue for forty-four days thereafter.
2. The Department accepts the above terms in satisfaction of the violation.
3. The parties further agree that this agreement is with prejudice and that no further action can be taken as to this violation by
either party with the exception of Lil Cricket's service of the forty-five day suspension.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and hereby Order it s adoption. This court retains
continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
