HEARING: April 19, 2001 at 8:30 a.m. APPEARANCES: The Respondent appeared on his own behalf. The Complainants failed to appear. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: M. Douglas _____________________________________________________________________

Based upon the entire record, the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Recommended Order are made: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The Complainants failed to present any evidence at the hearing in support of the allegations set forth in the Complaint herein. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The Complainants, by the aforementioned default in appearance at the hearing for this matter, failed to sustain the required burden of proving the charges set forth in the complaint by a preponderance of relevant, substantial and probative evidence and, consequently, the credible evidence of record does not support any findings that the Respondent is in violation the charged provisions of A.R.S. §41-2153.b.9 and.10 and A.R.S. §41-2186.19 and .20. RECOMMENDED ORDER In view of the foregoing, and in light of the lack of prosecution by the Complainants, it is recommended that Citation No. 00-1/186, together with the complaint upon which it is based, be closed in a manner to be determined by the Department of Building and Fire Safety. Done this day, May 2, 2001.
