No. 2022A-10074-LDA-LS-ROC

HEARING: January 3, 2023

APPEARANCES: The Arizona Registrar of Contractors was represented by Seth T. Hargraves, Esq. who appeared via Google Meet.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Adam D. Stone

_____________________________________________________________________

FINDINGS OF FACT

The above-captioned matter was set to convene for hearing at 9:00 a.m. on January 3, 2023, at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Phoenix, Arizona.

No representative for Respondent appeared by 9:15 a.m. and consequently, the matter was not convened and no evidence was taken.

The copy of the Notice of Hearing that the Registrar mailed to Respondent at its address of record was reasonable and Respondent is deemed to have received notice of the hearing. A.R.S. §§ 41-1092.04 and 41-1092.05(D).

In addition on November 29, 2022, the tribunal issued its Order for Google Meet which was e-mailed to Respondent’s email address of record.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

By failing to appear at the hearing, Complainant did not meet the burden to present evidence in support of the complaint. 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.
