Treva Marsh, Appellant. v. South Carolina Department of Social Services, Respondent.
ORDER
Crystal M. Rookard South Carolina Administrative Law Judge
Treva Marsh (Appellant) filed this appeal with the South Carolina Administrative Law Court (ALC or Court) seeking review of the Final Administrative Order issued by the South Carolina Department of Social Services' (Department) Fair Hearing Committee (Committee) on October 18, 2023, affirming the Department's disqualification of Appellant's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit. This case was assigned to the undersigned on December 14, 2023, and the Record on Appeal was filed on January 17, 2024, thus rendering Appellant's Brief due on or before February 16, 2024. When Appellant's Brief was not timely filed, this Court issued an Order on March 4, 2024, informing Appellant that the appeal would be dismissed unless, within seven days from the date of the Order, Appellant filed correspondence with the Court showing good cause for her failure to timely file her Appellant Brief. As of the date of this Order, Appellant has neither filed correspondence with the Court, nor has the Court received Appellant's brief. As such, the Court finds reason to dismiss the appeal due to Appellant's failure to advance her position and comply with this Court's rules. See SCALC Rule 38 ("Upon motion of any party, or on its own motion, an administrative law judge may dismiss an appeal or resolve the appeal adversely to the offending party for failure to comply with any of the rules of procedure for appeals, including the failure to comply with any of the time limits provided in these rules or by order of the Court.").
Based upon the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this appeal shall be, and hereby is, DISMISSED
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
