                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By email dated November 3, 2021, appellant filed a notice of appeal with the
Board, which was docketed on November 8, 2021. Between August 23, 2022, and
November 21, 2022, appellant failed to respond to several Board Orders directing
appellant to submit its election of procedure. The Board sent each Order to the email
address utilized by appellant to file its notice of appeal. Additionally, the Board
attempted to contact appellant’s counsel via phone and left a message on December 19,
2022. To date, no response has been received.

        By Order dated December 22, 2022, appellant was directed, within 21 days, to
either file its election of procedure or show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed
for failure to prosecute. The Show Cause Order was distributed to the parties on
December 23, 2022, but appellant has not responded. Accordingly, the above appeal is
dismissed with prejudice under Board Rule 17.
