the Board issued an order on July 7, 2006, requiring NOVA to show cause why the Board should not dismiss its interlocutory appeal.
An agent for NOVA's counsel signed the certified mail return receipt on July 11, 2006, but NOVA failed to file a response to the Board Order to Show Cause. Accordingly, because NOVA has failed to respond to the Board's show cause order and thus has failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances justifying consideration of its interlocutory appeal, we DISMISS NOVA's interlocutory appeal.
SO ORDERED.
