On December 7, 2022, the government filed a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute. The appellant has not responded to the government’s motion. As set forth in the government’s motion, the appellant has disregarded all attempts by the government to engage in communication since February 1, 2022, and has not responded to the government’s attempts to engage in discovery in this matter (gov’t mot. at 2-4, 6). ∗

On February 16, 2023, the Board ordered appellant to either submit its brief or file a request for additional time to submit its brief responding to the government’s motion to dismiss by no later than March 8, 2023. The Board’s Order warned that it may dismiss this appeal for failure to prosecute without providing any further notice to appellant.

∗ We have reviewed the correspondence attached to the government’s motion which reflects that the government sent its correspondence to the same address that the Board has for appellant. As of March 15, 2023, appellant has not filed its response or a request for an extension. Appellant likewise has failed to respond or to communicate with the government in more than one year. Accordingly, the above appeal is dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Board Rule 17.
