Reply briefs are optional and failure to file a reply brief will not subject the motion to summary ruling. Claimant's failure to respond to the motion indicates either that he views his position as untenable or that he is so confident in the merits of his claim that he need not reply. Whatever his intent, this case is indistinguishable from the prior case. Claimant does not challenge Liberty's assertion that a hearing officer remanded his rehabilitation claim to the Rehabilitation Panel, that the decision was not appealed, and that remedies on remand have not been exhausted. 6 Finding good cause, the petition is dismissed .
Judgment is entered accordingly.
