                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       Appellant filed this notice of appeal via an email dated August 11, 2020 from
Mr. Peter Canning. The notice did not clearly indicate that Mr. Canning was a qualified
appeal representative under Board Rule 15. By Order dated March 23, 2021, the Board
directed appellant to show that it was represented by a person meeting the requirements
of Board Rule 15(a). Appellant did not respond to that Order. By Order dated April 9,
2021, the Board requested that appellant respond to the March 23, 2021 Order, but again
appellant did not respond. By Order dated April 28, 2021, the Board directed appellant to
show that it is represented by a person meeting the criteria of Board Rule 15(a), and
informed appellant that if it did not comply with the Board’s Order, the Board may
dismiss the appeal without further notice to the parties. Appellant did not respond to the
Board’s April 28, 2021 Order.

      A representative meeting the requirements of Rule 15(a) did not enter a notice of
appearance. Without a representative meeting the requirement of Board Rule 15(a), the
Board is unable to proceed. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
