This matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission for an Informal Hearing on XXXXX. James E. Harward, Hearing Officer, was scheduled to hear the matter for the Tax Commission. XXXXX appeared representing the Petitioner. The Respondent did not appear. The Hearing Officer noted that the manager was duly served with a copy of the Notice of Hearing on XXXXX. On page 3, of the Notice of Hearing, paragraph 4, it indicates that "any failure to appear at the scheduled hearing or any prehearing conference may result in adverse consequences for the nonappearing party. The Hearing Officer may proceed and reach a recommended decision in this matter based upon the documents already in the case file and upon any additional evidence presented by any parties who did appear. For the nonappearing party, the opportunity to present evidence, to confront witnesses, and to conduct cross examinations will be lost." After making note of the Notice of Hearing and the service upon the Respondent, the Hearing Officer reviewed the file and took evidence from the Petitioner.
