ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER
This matter was initiated by a citation issued by the South Carolina Law
Enforcement Division against Respondents on July 8, 1999, for a violation of S.C. Code Ann. Section 12-22-740 (Supp. 1999) for
"operating as a casino." The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) issued its Final Determination sustaining this
violation and
seeking various penalties. Respondent appealed the matter, and it was transmitted to the Administrative Law Judge Division
(Division).
Prior to a 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 July 8, 1999, Respondent agrees to remit to the
Department a fine of $5,000.00 no later than 5:00 p.m., August 31, 2000.
2. In consideration of the above, based on the facts of this case to include
that the location operators surrendered its retail licenses and this location closed immediately
after issuance of the citation, the Department agrees to waive the remaining penalties sought for
this violation.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and
hereby Order its adoption. This court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As Respondent no longer requires a
hearing on this matter, I also Order this matter Dismissed
with Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
