On February 9, 2000, both Mr. John P. Robertson, II, Esq., Complainant’s attorney, and Mr. Kenneth E. Schaffer, Respondent’s Qualifying Party, appeared at the Office of Administrative Hearings. Complainant moved to withdraw the complaint and vacate the hearing. An evidentiary hearing was not held. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED vacating the hearing. Further, IT IS RECOMMENDED that the Registrar dismiss Citation and Complaint No. 9-1994 and affirm its September 27, 1999, Order dismissing the citation and complaint.
