ORDER
This matter came before the Court on Wednesday, February 18, 1998, at the Administrative
Law Judge Division Hearing room, as an action to be heard on the merits before this Court. Based
upon the specific facts of this case, Respondents moved to continue this matter, and Petitioner
consented to and joined in that motion. Respondents' motion essentially alleged that there are two
different cases currently before the Supreme Court of South Carolina that once decided, will easily
resolved the issues involved in this case. Those two cases are Gateway Enterprise, Inc., v. DOR and
Triple AAA Entertainment, et al., v. DOR and its companion McNichols Corp. V. DOR.
The parties have agreed to continue this case until July 15 or until Gateway and Triple AAA
are decided by the Supreme Court, whichever arrives first. If the July 15, 1998, date arrives and the
Supreme Court has not reached a decision, the Respondents agree that three of the five rooms
involved in this case were in violation and Respondents will not contest violations assessed against
those three rooms. Respondents will request a hearing on the other two rooms, and such hearing
should be granted and heard within ten (10) days of July 15, 1998.
Therefore, it is the order of the Court that this matter be continued, with the above conditions
in place, until the earlier of July 15, 1998, or until Supreme Court a\hands down its decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
