Order of Dismissal

Petitioner Jeremiah Dwyer appeals from a decision of the State Board of Retirement (SBR) denying his request to re-open his application to purchase his military service. After receiving his appeal, the Division of Administrative Law Appeals ordered Mr. Dwyer to submit a pre-hearing memorandum by July 15, 2026. He did not do so. On September 8, 2026, the SBR filed a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute under 801 CMR 1.01(7)(g)(2). DALA then issued an Order to Show Cause requiring Mr. Dwyer to explain in writing by September 25, 2026, why his appeal should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Mr. Dwyer again did not respond. In light of the foregoing, Mr. Dwyer’s appeal is dismissed for failure to prosecute. 801 CMR 1.01(7)(g)(2).
