Petitioner had requested a hearing as a result of an Agency decision notice. The request was forwarded to the Division of Administrative Hearings for assignment of an Administrative Law Judge to conduct the hearing. Prior to the hearing, Petitioner received a notice granting the Petitioner's employment exemption, which resulted in the issuance of the Order Closing File and Relinquishing Jurisdiction as the matter is moot.

Therefore, based on the foregoing, the petition requesting an administrative hearing is DENIED. The Agency action granting Petitioner's request for an exemption

from disqualification is effective and final according to its terms
