FINDINGS OF FACT

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors duly issued a Notice of Hearing setting the above-captioned matter for hearing at 1:00 p.m. on January 8, 2018, at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Phoenix, Arizona.

No representative for Complainant appeared by 1:20 p.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 Complainant failed to appear and prosecute the appeal, the appeal is unsupported by evidence. Consequently, Complainant’s appeal should be dismissed.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that Complainant’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, January 26, 2018
