License No. ROC 336575,

RESPONDENT.

No. 2025A-04498-CHC-ROC

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE DECISION

HEARING: February 18, 2026.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Samuel Fox

_____________________________________________________________________

FINDINGS OF FACT

Pursuant to the Notice of Hearing, the hearing in this matter was set for February 18, 2026, before the Office of Administrative Hearings.

Complainant failed to appear at the noticed hearing. 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, their claim is unsupported by evidence. Consequently, Complainant failed to meet their burden, and the appeal should be dismissed.

RECOMMENDED ORDER

It is recommended that this matter be dismissed.

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-1092.08(I), the licensee may accept the Administrative Law Judge Decision by advising the Office of Administrative Hearings in writing not more than ten (10) days after receiving the decision. If the licensee accepts the Administrative Law Judge Decision, the decision shall be certified as the final decision by the Office of Administrative Hearings.

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 will be forty (40) days from the date of that certification.

Done this day, February 19, 2026.
