RECOMMENDED ORDER
Pursuant to notice, an administrative hearings was convened at the Martin County Courthouse, Stuart, Florida, October 12, 1976 to consider charges filed by the Florida Real Estate Commission against the Respondent.
APPEARANCES
For Petitioner: Fred Wilson, Esquire
Florida Real Estate Commission 2699 Lee Road
Winter Park, Florida 32789
For Respondent: Bruce A. Koebe, Esquire
2170 Northeast Dixie Highway Rick Carroll Building

ISSUE
The Information filed by the Florida Real Estate Commission against the Respondent charged him with two separate counts of violations of Chapter 475,
The first count charged that he had sold real estate within the state of Florida and held himself out as being entitled to operate as a real estate broker or salesman. The count further charges that the Respondent did not reveal this to the Florida Real Estate Commission when he filed his application to be licensed within the state. Therefore, the Commission states Respondent obtained his registration as a salesman by means of fraud, misrepresentation or concealment in violation of Section.475.25(2), F.S. Count Two alleges that the Respondent answered in the negative to Question 14 of said application "Have you filed any application for registration as a broker or salesman in this state which was not granted?" In fact, Count Two alleges that the Respondent had filed an application previously to the one which was eventually granted and had therefore not truthfully answered the above question.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The evidence in this case failed to sustain either of these charges. As to the first count, the main witness called by the Florida Real Estate Commission, Annette Frances Brewer, could not identify the Respondent as being
an individual who showed her real property and attempted to sell her a condominium unit. As for Count Two, there was no showing that the Respondent's misstatement on said applications was intentional or done for purposes of deception.
It is, therefore, RECOMMENDED that the Florida Real Estate Commission take no action against the Respondent, Frank David Camp.
