IN THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

HEARING: December 10, 2008 APPEARANCES: Complainant failed to appear and Respondent appeared through its president and qualifying party, Ed Albus. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Mark A. Silver _____________________________________________________________________ Based upon the entire record in the matter, the following Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommended Order are made:

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. Complainant did not present any evidence at the hearing in support of the allegations set forth in the Complaint herein. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. Complainant, by the aforementioned default in appearance at the hearing, 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 instant record does not support any finding that Respondent has violated the provisions of A.R.S. §32-1154A. RECOMMENDED ORDER

In view of the foregoing, and in light of the lack of prosecution by Complainant, it is recommended that this Citation (no. A08-0257), together with the Complaint upon which it is based, be 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 in this matter will be forty (40) days from the date of that certification. Done this day, December 10, 2008
