	THIS MATTER COMES BEFORE ME upon a Petition to Reinstate the Driver’s License of Xxxx Xxxx filed by Petitioner’s counsel, Natasha M. Hanna, requesting this Court to reinstate Petitioner’s driver’s license.
	Based on the Pleadings, Affidavit and Petitioner’s driving record filed with the court and the representations made to the court by Petitioner’s counsel, the court made the following findings of fact:

1.	Petitioner’s driver’s license was revoked in 1990 because Petitioner received numerous citations for Driving Under the Influence and Driving Under Suspension.  
2.	Petitioner, through his undersigned counsel, filed the Petition to reinstate Driver’s License with the Horry County Clerk of Court on January 23, 2004 and served it upon the Horry County Solicitor that same day. 
3.	Thirty days have passed since such service and none of the parties objected to the reinstatement of Petitioner’s driver’s license or requested a hearing on the merits. 
4.	Pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. §56-1-385, Reinstatement of permanently revoked driver’s license, the Court may order the reinstatement of the person’s driver’s license upon certain conditions.
5.	Petitioner has met the following conditions as required by the statute:
a.	Petitioner has not been convicted in this State or any other State of an alcohol or drug violation during the previous seven-year period;
b.	Petitioner has not been convicted of and does not have any charges pending in this State or another State for a violation of driving while his license is canceled, suspended, or revoked during the previous seven-year period;
c.	Petitioner successfully completed the ADSAP program in December 2003; and
d.	Petitioner’s overall driving record, attitude and habits, character and driving ability would make it safe to grant him the privilege to operate a motor vehicle.
	Based on the above findings of fact, the Court grants the motion to reinstate the Petitioner’s driver’s license. 
	IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the South Carolina Department of Public Safety reinstate the driver’s license of Xxxx Xxxx.
	IT IS SO ORDERED.
