ARB CASE NO. 06-144
ALJ CASE NO. 2005-SOX-077
DATE: September 28, 2007
In the Matter of:
MICHAEL RIEDELL,
COMPLAINANT,
v.
VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS,
RESPONDENT.
BEFORE: THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW BOARD
Appearances:
For the Complainant:
Michael Riedell, pro se, Thousand Oaks, California
For the Respondent:
Patty Kinaga, Esq., Jones Day, LLP, Los Angeles, California
FINAL ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On
August 23, 2007, the Administrative Review Board ordered the Complainant, Michael
Riedell, to show cause why his complaint should not be dismissed for failure to
prosecute. On September 17, 2007, Riedell notified the Board by letter that he
does not challenge a dismissal of his complaint for failure to prosecute and
wishes to conclude all activity regarding the above-captioned complaint.
We construe Riedell’s
letter as a request to withdraw his objections to the Administrative Law Judge’s
Recommended Decision and Order Dismissing the Complaint pursuant to 29 C.F.R. §
1980.111(c) (2007). We APPROVE the request and
[Page 2]
DISMISS his appeal. Accordingly, the Recommended Decision and Order
Dismissing the Complaint becomes the Department of Labor’s final order in this
case.
SO ORDERED.
