ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that a status conference was 

scheduled for January 26, 2026. Petitioner failed to appear at the scheduled status 

conference. The Tribunal finds that placing the absent party in default and ordering an 

explanation and documentation justifying the absence at the proceeding is appropriate.1 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is held in DEFAULT. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall submit information and 

documentation as directed above along with a motion to set aside the default. The 

response must be filed with the Tribunal and served on the opposing party or the 

opposing party’s authorized representative within 14 days of entry of this order.2 

 

Failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of this case or the scheduling of 

a default hearing, as provided by TTR 237.
