An appeal an order of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. Edward T.

Sports, we hold the evidence in this case legally insufficient to support the conclusions of law in the appealed order. See Pic N Save Central Fla., Inc. v. Dep t of Bus. Regulation, Div. of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco, 601 So. 2d 245 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992). The order is reversed and remanded with directions to dismiss the charges. REVERSED AND REMANDED.
