President, Michael Foster, filed a Motion to Dismiss as well as a separate Answer to 

Complainant's Motion for Decision Should Not Be Granted. Based on a review of these

Complaint, and is hereby re-titled as Respondent's Answer.

Decision Should Not Be Granted" [sic], the Respondent requested that Complainant's
