appear and show cause why the permit or license should not be revoked or 
suspended;
(4) the applicant has designated an area for an event that was the 
subject of the order to appear and show cause as set forth in paragraph (3), 
and it appears that the new application for a temporary permit covering the 
premises is an attempt to avoid any possible remedial action taken by the 
director against the former permit or license holder;
(5) the applicant has had a license or permit revoked under the club 
and drinking establishment act, or has been convicted of a violation of the

liquor within 48 hours of the sale.
(3) Within three business days after the end of an event conducted
