SYNOPSIS
Petitioner filed a pro se residency appeal on behalf of her son in May 2011. A hearing at the
Office of Administrative Law (OAL) was scheduled for September 7, 2011, but petitioner failed
to appear despite having received appropriate notice and provided no explanation for her
nonappearance. No counterclaim was filed by the respondent Board.
There being no explanation filed for petitioner’s nonappearance, the matter is no longer deemed
to be a contested case before the Commissioner. Accordingly, the Commissioner dismissed the
petition with prejudice.
This synopsis is not part of the Commissioner’s decision. It has been prepared for the convenience of the
reader. It has been neither reviewed nor approved by the Commissioner.
