ORDERS:
ORDER AND DECISION
This matter has been pending before the Administrative Law Judge Division since February
7, 1995, pursuant to Petitioner's request for an administrative hearing regarding Respondent's denial
of a septic tank permit to Petitioner. After notice to the parties, a pre-trial conference was held at
the Administrative Law Judge Division offices, 1205 Pendleton Street, Columbia, South Carolina on
January 9, 1996. Petitioner, as well as her husband, Bruce Bilsback and Thomas G. Eppink, attorney
for Respondent appeared. As a result of the pre-trial conference the parties came to a tentative
settlement agreement. At that time, Petitioner requested opportunity to consult with an attorney and
then the parties were to inform this court if they would be able to reach an agreement to dismiss the
case without prejudice. Since that time, there have been several attempts by this office to reach the
parties to determine if a settlement had been reached. The parties have not responded.
Pursuant to ALJD Rule 23 and in the name of judicial economy,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter be and hereby is dismissed with prejudice.
