Order of Dismissal
Petitioner Joseph Murphy appeals from the State Board of Retirement’s determination that his position did not qualify for Group 4 classification. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 32, § 3(2)(g). On June 8, 2026, the Division of Administrative Law Appeals entered an order to show cause why petitioner’s appeal should not be dismissed owing to his failure to submit a prehearing memorandum by May 22, 2026, as previously ordered. Petitioner was given until July 8, 2026 to respond to the show-cause order. No response was received.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for failure to prosecute. 801 CMR 1.01(7)(g)(3).
