No. 2020A-01179-NPC-ROC

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE

DECISION

HEARING: July 28, 2021

APPEARANCES: No one appeared for Complainant; William E. Moore, Esq. for Respondent

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Thomas Shedden

FINDINGS OF FACT

On June 21, 2021, the Registrar of Contractors issued a Notice of Hearing setting the above-captioned matter for hearing at 1:00 p.m. July 28, 2021 at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Phoenix, Arizona.

Complainant did not file a disclosure statement as required by Ariz. Admin. Code section R4-9-118.

No representative for Complainant had appeared by 1:15 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 that of a preponderance of the evidence. Ariz. Admin. Code § R2-19-119; see also Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 41-1092.07(G)(2).

Complainant failed to appear and no one was present at the hearing to prosecute the matter. Consequently, the Citation is unsupported by evidence.

Because the Citation is unsupported by any evidence, this matter should be dismissed.

ORDER

IT IS ORDERED that Case No. 2020-01179 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 forty days after the date of that certification.
