for the Entire Tribunal petition. See TTR 233 and 223. As a result, the appeal is not

the docket number assigned by the Tribunal. Tribunal rules and information on Entire 

Tribunal petitions and filing fees and fee calculator can be found on our website at

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, as indicated 

above, within 14 days of the entry of this Order.i 

Failure to comply with this Order will result in the defaulted party being required to file a 

motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).
