In the Matter of:

Petitioner.

No. 25A-075-INS

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE DECISION

HEARING: August 7, 2025 at 1:00pm

APPEARANCES: A representative for the Arizona Department of Insurance & Financial Institutions was available at the time of the hearing. Petitioner did not appear.

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE: Nicole Robinson

FINDINGS OF FACT

The above-captioned matter was set to convene for hearing at 1:00p.m. on August 7, 2025, at the Office of Administrative Hearings in Phoenix, Arizona.

No representative for Petitioner appeared 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 Ariz. Admin. Code R2-19-119.

Because Petitioner failed to appear and prosecute the appeal, the appeal is unsupported by evidence. Therefore, Petitioner’s appeal should be dismissed.

ORDER

Based on the forgoing,

It is Recommended that Petitioner’s appeal is dismissed.

It is Further Recommended that the hearing is vacated from the calendar of the Office of Administrative Hearings and remanded to the originating agency for any further action.

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.
