Respondent, noting that the order did not explain the basis of the compensatory damages award and that it only had five days to appeal the order, filed a protective appeal requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge. Respondent then wrote to the Regional Administrator for clarification of his order. Satisfied with the Regional Administrator's explanation, respondent moves to withdraw the appeal. However, the parties were unsure whether the respondent could withdraw its appeal, and therefore they tried to negotiate a settlement incorporating all of the Regional Administrator's remedies. Therefore, respondent moves that its appeal be withdrawn.
Complainant has no objection to the motion.
I see no impediment to respondent's motion. Here, the parties have not entered into a settlement or other compromise agreement. By granting respondent's motion to withdraw its appeal, the case will be dismissed and the Regional Administrator's determination will be reinstated.
