ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This
matter is before me on the appeal of Patricia Miller-Limehouse (Appellant)
filed on June 18, 2007. On August 24, 2007, the Employee Insurance Program
filed the Record on Appeal. The Brief of Appellant was due thirty (30) days
after the Record was filed. A letter was sent to Appellant on October 1, 2007,
notifying her that her Brief was late and to protect her interest, she must
file a Brief within ten (10) days of the date of the letter. As of the date of
this Order of Dismissal, the Appellant’s Brief has not been received.
Pursuant
to ALC Rule 38, an Administrative Law Judge may dismiss an appeal for failure
to comply with the rules of procedure for appeals or for failure to comply with
any time limits set forth in an appeal. This delay is well beyond the time
period set forth in the Rules of Procedure for the Administrative Law Court.
As the Appellant has been afforded ample time to file her Brief and has not
notified the ALC of any extenuating circumstances regarding failure to file the
Appellant’s Brief, I conclude that this matter should be dismissed sua sponte.
IT
IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
AND
IT IS SO ORDERED.
