Respondent April 5, 1995

The above-captioned matter was heard as a contested case on March 9, 1995, at which time the respondent appeared. Although the hearing on the matter in this case had been rescheduled from December 21, 1994 to March 9, 1995 at the request of and in consideration of the complainant, the complainant failed to appear on March 9, 1995.

The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of the record concerning the above-captioned complaint.

1. The complaint is hereby dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute.

2. The Commission notes that the unexcused failure of the complainant to appear resulted in the waste of public resources and reflected poorly on the complainant.
