ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is here pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp. 2002) and S.C. Code Ann. §§
1-23-310 et seq. (1986 & Supp. 2002) for a contested case hearing. Petitioner applied for an on
premises beer and wine permit for an establishment located at 105 Spring Street, Abbeville, South
Carolina. In its Agency Transmittal and in a Motion to be Excused, DOR advised that applicant
appears to have met all statutory requirements, that no controversy exists between applicant and
DOR, that DOR has no evidence to support denying the application, and that DOR would have issued
the permit but for the protestant. Thus, only the protest presented the controversy.
In the instant case, notice of the hearing was provided to all parties as well as the protestant informing
all that a hearing would be held at the Administrative Law Judge Division in Columbia, South
Carolina on Monday, March 29, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. However, at that hearing, the protestant did not
appear. Thus, the protest was waived.
Accordingly, with no protest existing, the Department of Revenue shall continue to process
Petitioner’s application for an on-premises beer and wine permit for Christopher Crawford, d/b/a
McKnight MVP Club & Gameroom, 105 Spring Street, Abbeville, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
