FINDINGS OF FACT

1. A hearing in the above-entitled matter was set to convene at 1:00 p.m. on June 4, 2026.

2. Ali Noor-Dean (Mr. Noor-Dean) failed to appear at the hearing set on

Mr. Noor-Dean’s behalf. Consequently, the hearing was not convened, and no evidence was taken.

3. Mr. Noor-Dean did not contact OAH prior to the hearing date to provide a telephone number where Mr. Noor-Dean would be called to participate in the hearing or indicate that Mr. Noor-Dean would appear in-person or by video conference.

4. No communication was received by OAH on behalf of Mr. Noor-Dean to provide notice of unavailability, to appear via alternative means, or to continue the hearing to a later date.

5. Although afforded a fifteen (15) minute grace period, no representative for Mr. Noor-Dean appeared at the hearing. Consequently, the hearing was not convened, and no evidence was taken.

6. There is no evidence that Mr. Noor-Dean subsequently contacted OAH to provide an explanation for not appearing at the scheduled hearing.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. The burden of proof in this matter is on Mr. Noor-Dean. See Arizona Administrative Code R2-19-119.

2. By failing to appear and prosecute the appeal, the appeal is unsupported by evidence and Mr. Noor-Dean has failed to meet the required burden of proof. Consequently, Mr. Noor-Dean’s appeal should be dismissed.

RECOMMENDED DECISION

In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that Mr. Noor-Dean’s appeal be dismissed.
