I concur in the main opinion. In this case, the Department of Public Safety ("the Department") asserts facts on appeal that, had they been established in the trial court, would seem to support a judgment in favor of the Department. However, because the Department failed to present any evidence to the trial court supporting the disqualification of Brian Alston's commercial driver's license, the trial court's judgment in favor of Alston is due to be affirmed. Assuming that the Department's unsupported factual assertions are in fact correct, I find it disheartening that a commercial driver whose license should have been disqualified remains on the road simply because the Department failed to present evidence establishing its case.
