ORDERS:
ORDER OF SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE
These matters come before me on the citations issued by the Department of Revenue and
Taxation against respondents for violation of the South Carolina Video Game Machines Act,
S.C. Code Ann. § 12-21-2770, et seq. Respondents are cited for having more than eight
machines licensed under the S.C. Code Ann. § 12-21-2720 (Supp. 1994) in a single place or
premise. Hearings were scheduled for August 8, 1995. Prior to the hearings, the parties reached
an agreement resolving this matter, and that agreement is incorporated into this Order.
(1) Michael W. Mims agrees to pay a $10,000.00 fine within 30 days of the date of entry of this
Order.
(2) This settlement is deemed and found to be a compromise of a settled and disputed claim and
is not deemed or found to be in violation of the Video Game Machines Act.
(3) These locations are no longer in operation.
Based upon the foregoing consent agreement by the parties, it is ordered that the above
agreement is approved and these cases are dismissed with prejudice.
WE SO CONSENT:
