CARLYLE, 	Member: 	This 	case 	is before the 	Public Employment
Relations 	Board 	(Board) 	on an appeal 	filed by Mary McFarland
(McFarland) 	to a Board agent's partial 	dismissal 	of her charge

the 	request 	and concurs 	that 	such a withdrawal 	is 	in the best
interest 	of 	the parties and is 	consistent with 	the Act.
1EERA is 	codified at Government 	Code 	section 3540 	et 	seq.
