ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Pursuant to ALJD Rule 23, a default occurs in a contested case when a party fails to respond or otherwise prosecute or defend, or fails to comply with any interlocutory order of the administrative law judge. An administrative law judge may dismiss or dispose of a contested case adversely to the defaulting party.

Pursuant to ALJD Rule 8, the Administrative Law Judge issued an Order for Prehearing Statements on September 16, 1997, requiring the parties to file Prehearing Statements with the Court on or before October 6, 1997. Petitioner filed its Prehearing Statement with the Court on September 23, 1997. By letter dated November 7, 1997, the Court informed Video Arcade, Inc., d/b/a Full House Games, that its Prehearing Statement was past due and that if the Prehearing Statement was not filed with the Court on or before November 17, 1997, the above matter would be dismissed pursuant to ALJD Rule 23 for failure to comply with the Order. As of the date of this Order, Respondent Video Arcade, Inc., d/b/a Full House Games, has not filed a Prehearing Statement with the Court and is in default.

Adequate notice was given of the requirements imposed and consequences for failure to comply, and Respondent was provided abundant opportunity to comply.
