IN THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

HEARING: August 7, 2014 APPEARANCES: Applicant did not appear. The Arizona State Board of Technical Registration was represented by Assistant Attorney General Jeanne Galvin. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Tammy L. Eigenheer _____________________________________________________________________ FINDINGS OF FACT The hearing in this matter was scheduled to convene at 9:00 a.m. on August 7, 2014, at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Phoenix, Arizona. No representative for Applicant appeared by 9:20 a.m. and consequently, the matter was not convened and no evidence was taken. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The burden of proof at an administrative hearing falls to the party asserting a claim, right, or entitlement, and the standard of proof on all issues in this matter is by a preponderance of the evidence. See A.A.C. R2- 19-119. Because Applicant failed to appear and prosecute the appeal, the appeal is unsupported by evidence. Consequently, Applicant’s appeal should be dismissed. ORDER IT IS ORDERED that Applicant’s appeal is dismissed. In the event of certification of the Administrative Law Judge Decision by the Director of the Office of Administrative Hearings, the effective date of the Order is the date of that certification. Done this day, August 27, 2014.
