IN THE MATTER OF 

CHERYL R. MATERNOWSKI,
          Complainant,

     v.
I.E.S. INDUSTRIES, INC.
d/b/a I.E.S UTILITIES, INC.,
          Respondent.


              RECOMMENDED DECISION AND ORDER DISMISSING
                       CLAIM WITH PREJUDICE

     A hearing on the complaint under the Energy Reorganization Act filed by the
Complainant was scheduled to be heard on April 19, through April 21, 1995 in
accordance with 29 C.F.R. Part 24.

     On April 12, 1995, the Complainant, Cheryl R. Maternowski, by and through her
attorney, moved the Court to dismiss the above-captioned matter with prejudice, and
states that the motion is not made pursuant to settlement as there is and will be no
settlement in this matter.

     Based on my consideration of the request for dismissal, and my review of the
record in this case, I find that the best interests of the Claimant are served by
granting this request.  I consequently APPROVE the request to dismiss this claim.
 
                            ORDER

     IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT this matter is DISMISSED with prejudice.

     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the hearing scheduled on April 19 through
April 21, 1995 is CANCELLED.
