Case No. 86-ERA-3

In the Matter of

ANTHONY D. LARETTA,
    Complainant

    v.

NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER COMPANY,
    Respondent

    Before me for review is the Recommended order - Dismissing Complaint issued by Administrative Law Judge Robert M. Glennon on March 12, 1986 in the above-captioned case, which arises under the employee protection provision of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1982). The basis for the dismissal of the complaint was Complainant's failure to respond to the ALJ's show cause order of November 15, 1985.

    The record in this case has been reviewed and I find that the dismissal of the complaint is proper under 29 C.F.R. § 24.5(e)(4)(i)(B) of the regulations implementing the ERA. Accordingly, the complaint in this case is DISMISSED.
