HEARING: May 15, 2001. APPEARANCES: Carole O’Brien appeared personally. No one appeared representing the Capitol Police. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Brian Brendan Tully _____________________________________________________________________ Based upon the entire record in the matter, the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order are made:

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The Capitol Police did not present any evidence at the hearing in support of the allegations set forth in the parking citation issued herein.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. The Capitol Police, by the aforementioned default in appearance at the hearing, failed to sustain the required burden of proving the charges set forth in the parking citation by a preponderance of relevant, substantial and probative evidence and consequently the instant record does not support any finding that Carole O’Brien has violated the charged parking regulation.

ORDER

In view of the foregoing, and in light of the lack of prosecution by Capitol Police, it is Ordered that citation no. 12275 be dismissed. Notwithstanding the language contained in A.R.S. § 41-1092.08, on standing motion of J. Elliott Hibbs, Director of the Department of Administration, this decision is the final administrative decision. Any request for rehearing must be forwarded to the Department of Administration pursuant to A.A.C. R2-6-208 and A.R.S. § 41-1092.09 (A). In addition, this decision may be appealed to the Superior Court, pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.08 (H).
