                              ORDER OF DISMISSAL

        On May 4, 2022, the Board issued an Order directing appellant to inform the
Board, by no later than May 24, 2022, whether it desires to move forward with the
above-captioned appeals in light of the withdrawal of its counsel and its subsequent
failure to submit a status report that the Board had ordered. Appellant did not respond
to the Board’s Order. On July 6, 2022, the Board issued a Show Cause Order directing
appellant, within 21 days, to show cause why the appeals should not be dismissed with
prejudice for failure to prosecute. Appellant has had more than 10 months to respond
to the Board’s Order, but has failed to do so. Accordingly, the above appeals are
dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Board Rule 17.
