' 12 that Mr. Crabaugh has elected not to contest the allegations in the notice and would allow an ‘
l 13 order to be entered by default‘ Mr‘ Crabaugh’s attorney ﬁthher stated that Mr‘ Crabaugh does
l4 not admit the allegations in the notice, but he chooses not to request a hearing because he is not
15 engaged in teaching and does not want to incur the expense of a hearing, ,
16 The Commission ﬁnds Mr. Crabaugh to be in default. Based on the ﬁles and records in
17 this matter the Commission enters the following ﬁndings of fact, conclusions of law and order of ‘
