Office of Administrative Law Judges 1111 20th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 In the Matter of
JOSEPH M. CORRIGAN,
v.
NEW YORK STATE POWER
AUTHORITY,
AND CANCELLATION OF HEARING On September 18, 1985 an order was issued affording the Complainant, Joseph M. Corrigan, the period through September 25, 1985 within which to assert that an act of discrimination had been taken against him by the New York State Power Authority within 30 days prior to the filing of his complaint. The Complainant responded to that order by letter dated September 22, 1985, but in that letter made no assertion that any act of discrimination had been taken against him by the New York State Power Authority within 30 days prior to the filing of his complaint. In fact, the Complainant states that his letter of [Page 2] July 1, 1985, which the Department of Labor had taken to be a complaint under the Act, was not intended to be a complaint, but that it was merely a "letter" asking for a reply. Accordingly, this matter is dismissed both on the ground that the Complainant did not intend to file a complaint. Furthermore, if it had been a complaint it was not timely filed. The hearing scheduled for October 2, 1985 in New York City is hereby cancelled, and the complaint dismissed.
