The Show Cause Order notified the parties that if the parties did not respond to the Order, the Board could issue an order dismissing the case as the ALJ has recommended, without further notice to the parties.
Neither party has responded to the Show Cause Order. Accordingly, there being no objection to the ALJ's R.O.D. and knowing of no reason that we should not accept the R.O.D., we do so and DISMISS this case.
SO ORDERED.
