issued Respondent a show cause order directing that a response be submitted by
April 21, 2015. On April 20, 2015, the judge received a letter from Mr. Reed
requesting “rescheduling” due to ongoing medical treatment for a
serious health condition. A week later, the judge’s office left Mr. Reed
a voicemail message and sent him an email advising him that he needed to file
an Answer. When Mr. Reed did not file an Answer, the judge issued the company
an Order to File Answer on June 3, 2014, but received no response. On July 1,
2015, the judge issued the company a second show cause order. After the company
failed to respond to this order, the judge entered a default decision, notice
of which was sent on August 7, 2015. The decision was docketed on August 24,
2015, and Mr. Reed timely filed a petition with the Commission on September 8,
2015, seeking review of the judge’s default decision.<span

<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;line-height:22.45pt'>“Whether
dismissal is appropriate in any situation depends on whether a party’s
behavior demonstrates contumacy, whether the other party suffered prejudice,
and whether other aggravating circumstances were present.” <i>Caterpillar,
Inc.</i>, 17 BNA OSHC 1507, 1509 (No. 94-347, 1996) (citations omitted). Here,
the judge found that the company’s conduct was “contumacious in
that . . . the regular first class and certified mailings were
received, yet the Respondent failed to respond to any of the three orders
issued by the undersigned.”<span style='font-size:13.0pt'> </span><a

<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;line-height:22.45pt'>However,
while Respondent did not file an Answer, the company did respond to the first
show cause order by asking for “rescheduling.” Further, this
request for “rescheduling,” which could be construed as a request
for additional time was both in writing and received in advance of the date on
which the pleading was due to be filed. <i>See</i> 29 C.F.R. § 2200.5
(“Extension of time”). In his petition to the Commission, Mr. Reed
asserts that because of his ongoing medical treatment, he has “not [been]
able to respond in a timely manner.” This statement is consistent with
his response to the judge’s first show cause order, in which he explained
that he had been undergoing treatment “for the last two months and it was
impossible to respond.” <span style='font-size:13.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style='text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;line-height:22.45pt'>Although Mr.
Reed was silent from his April 20, 2015 response until his September 8, 2015
petition, we are mindful of his repeated assertions regarding his medical
condition. In particular, we note that Mr. Reed’s request for
rescheduling was not directly addressed by the judge. We also note that the
Secretary has never claimed he was prejudiced by the company’s failure to
timely file an Answer or respond to the judge’s orders. Under these
circumstances, including the absence of more specific information regarding the
timing and extent of Mr. Reed’s incapacitation during this period, we
conclude that a sanction of dismissal may not be appropriate at this time and
direct the judge to reconsider her decision dismissing the case. <i>See Larry
McMurran, dba Lar’s Plumbing, Inc.</i>, 25 BNA OSHC 1472, 1473 (No.
