Order of Dismissal

Petitioner Nicole Robertson appeals from a decision of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System (MTRS) excluding her from the benefits program known as Retirement Plus.  See G.L. c. 32, § 5(4).

Appeals from the decisions of the retirement boards must be filed “within fifteen days of notification of [the] . . . decision.”  G.L. c. 32, 16(4).  Ms. Robertson submitted her appeal five months after MTRS issued its decision.  A prior order therefore directed Ms. Robertson to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely.  See Oxford v. Lawrence Ret. Bd., No. CR-18-5, 2023 WL 11806166 (Contributory Ret. App. Bd. May 17, 2023).  The order advised Ms. Robertson that her failure to comply would result in dismissal.[1]

Ms. Robertson’s deadline has expired.  She has filed no response.  It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
