RECOMMENDED ORDER

THIS CAUSE came on for hearing before Arnold H. Pollock, the assigned Hearing Officer of the Division of Administrative Hearings, on January 20, 1983, in Orlando, Florida.

Petitioner timely requested a hearing due to the denial of his application for a "Business Broker's" license by the Respondent. The issue for determination was whether the application should be approved.

APPEARANCES

For Petitioner: Did not appear and was not represented. For Respondent: Ralph Armstead, Esquire

Although the Petitioner was properly noticed of the hearing as required by the applicable statutes and rules, he presented no evidence in support of his application for licensure. Accordingly, Petitioner has failed to carry his burden of proof to affirmatively demonstrate that he is qualified to be licensed.

RECOMMENDATION

Based upon Petitioner's failure to appear, it is RECOMMENDED:

That a default be entered against Petitioner and a final order be issued denying Petitioner's application for a "Business Broker's" license.
