Order of Dismissal
Petitioner Fundador Morales, Jr. appeals from the February 18, 2026, notice from the Boston Retirement System (BRS) denying his request to retire with accidental disability retirement benefits. As the basis for its denial, the BRS informed Mr. Morales there was a majority negative medical panel certificate, which required it to deny his application. Mr. Morales appealed this denial on March 2, 2026.
On March 12, 2026, the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA) issued an Order that required Mr. Morales to file a pre-hearing memorandum by April 24, 2026. Mr. Morales failed to do so. DALA then issued an Order to Show Cause, requiring him to state in writing by August 7, 2026, why he failed to comply with the deadline. Mr. Morales failed to respond.
In light of the foregoing, Mr. Morales’s appeal is dismissed for failure to prosecute. 801 CMR 1.01(7)(g)(2).
