Order of Dismissal

Petitioner Joseph Banta filed an appeal asking that certain payments for additional services be treated as regular compensation.  On July 21, 2025 I sent him an order to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed due to his failure to submit a memorandum by January 31, 2025 as ordered.  I gave him until August 22, 2025 to respond.  No response was received.

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for failure to prosecute.  801 CMR 1.01(7)(g)3.
