ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter is before me on the appeal of Jean A. Jones (Appellant) filed on April 2, 2003.
On April 30, 2003, the Department of Health and Human Services filed the Record on Appeal. The
Brief of Appellant was due fifteen (15) days after the Record was filed. As of the date of this Order
of Dismissal, the Appellant’s Brief has not been received.
Pursuant to ALJD 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 Judge Division. As the Appellant has been afforded ample time to file her
Brief, was notified via letter dated June 4, 2003 that the Appellant’s Brief was late, and has not
notified the ALJD 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.
