Citation | 284 S.C. 469,327 S.E.2d 348 |
Parties | Wilmarth SMITH, Appellant, v. SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Respondent. |
Court | South Carolina Supreme Court |
Angela Scutero, of Palmetto Legal Services, Lexington, for appellant.
Bruce Holland, of S.C. Dept. of Social Services, Columbia, for respondent.
This is an appeal under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) from the denial of food stamps to the appellant Wilmarth Smith. We affirm.
The respondent Department of Social Services rendered its final agency decision on November 13, 1981. On December 10, 1981, the appellant filed a Petition for review of the decision in circuit court. The agency moved to dismiss the appeal on January 22, 1982, alleging that the Court lacked jurisdiction over the matter because the Petition failed to specify any error. 1 The appellant moved to amend her Petition on August 24, 1982. The trial court dismissed the appeal and did not consider the Motion to Amend.
The trial court correctly concluded that the unamended Petition was insufficient. We adopt his analysis of that issue.
