ARB CASE NO. 02-054
ALJ CASE NO. 2001-AIR-002
DATE: August 23, 2007
GLYN TAYLOR, JR.,
COMPLAINANT,
v.
EXPRESS ONE INTERNATIONAL, INC.,
RESPONDENT.
BEFORE: THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW BOARD
FINAL DECISION AND ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This case arises
under the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act, 49 U.S.C.A. §
42121 (West Supp. 2006). While the case was pending review by the
Administrative Review Board, the Respondent, Express One, International, Inc.,
filed for protection under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11
U.S.C.A. § 101 et seq. (West 2004). On May 30, 2003, the Administrative Review
Board stayed the proceedings pursuant to the automatic stay provision of the
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.A. § 362(a)(1) (West 2004).
On November 4, 2004,
the Board received a copy of an Agreed Order concluding Express One’s
bankruptcy case. Neither Taylor nor Express One communicated with the Board after
the Bankruptcy court issued the Agreed Order. Accordingly, on July 6, 2007,
the Board issued the parties an Order to Show Cause, no later than July 25,
2007, why the Board should not dismiss this case on grounds of abandonment.[1]
[Page 2]
Neither party
responded to the Show Cause Order. Accordingly, finding no reason to continue
this case on the Board’s docket given the parties’ failure to respond, we DISMISS
Taylor’s appeal
SO ORDERED.
