ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On October 10, 2006, I
issued an Order requiring Respondent to provide Petitioner with Discovery
requests that were unfulfilled within ten (10) days from the date of the
Order. On October 30, 2006, Petitioner made a Motion for Default Judgment. As
of that date, Respondent had not provided Petitioner with any of the Discovery
requests as ordered. ALC Rule 23 provides:
The administrative law judge may dismiss a
contested case or dispose of a contested case adverse to the
defaulting party. A default occurs when a party fails to plead or otherwise prosecute
or defend, fails to appear at a hearing without the proper consent of the judge
or fails to comply with any interlocutory order of the administrative
law judge. Any non- defaulting party may move for an order dismissing
the case or terminating it adversely to the defaulting party.
Therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED with prejudice.
AND IT IS SO
ORDERED.
