ORDERS:
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Pursuant to this tribunal's order of September 11, 1997, each party was required to file
prehearing statements with the Administrative Law Judge Division and serve all parties within
fifteen (15) days of the order. However, the Repsondent, Scott Mehaffey, has not responded to the
order for prehearing statements or to a letter dated October 14, 1997. ALJD 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.
ALJD Rule 23 (1997).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the above-captioned case is hereby dismissed with
prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
