Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

On October 18, 1999, the appellant moved to stay proceedings in this matter pending a decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico on the appellant’s action to enforce the Final Stipulation and Order in the case of Giusti-Bravo v. U.S. Veterans Administration, 853 F.Supp. 34 (D.P.R.1993). On December 22, 1999, this Court granted that motion and ordered that the appellant, within 30 days, notify the Secretary and this Court of the current status of the motion to enforce the terms of the Final Stipulation and Order in the District Court and thereafter of any subsequent action taken by the District Court before June 1, 2000. As of the date of this order, no status report has been filed.

Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is

ORDERED that counsel for the appellant, within 20 days after the date of this order, inform the Court of the current status of the motion to enforce the terms of the Final Stipulation and Order in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico and show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court’s previous order.
