ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER
This matter is before the Court pursuant to an appeal by the Petitioners of the DSS action to
remove the foster child, Lamar Robinson from their home.
The Petitioners, Woodrow Alvin Davis and Tina Davis, are the foster parents of the minor child,
Lamar O. Robinson, date of birth May 16, 1996. The Petitioners were informed on August 21, 1997
by the Lexington County Department of Social Services that the minor child would be removed from
their home. The Department of Social Services received written notice of intent to appeal from the
Petitioners on August 22, 1997.
A Motion hearing was held on August 29, 1997 and the minor child was removed from the home
of the Petitioners by Order dated August 29, 1997 by the Honorable Richard Chewning.
It has come to the attention of this Court that a final hearing is pending in the Family Court
regarding the finalisation of the adoption of the minor child. Therefore, pending the outcome of the
Family Court hearing, it is agreed by the parties, Kathy Gettys Woods, attorney for Lexington County
DSS and James Fletcher Thompson, attorney for the Petitioners, that the appeal of the
Administrative Law Judge Division be held in abeyance.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
