ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR REVIEW
May 25, 1994
Five individuals (Joann Fetters, Jean Bush, Joyce Grimmitt, James N. Barrett and Marie Gamertsfelder) filed an application for review of the Regional Director's Decision and Order in the above-captioned case. For the reasons set out below, the application for review must be dismissed.
The Authority's Regulations provide that "a party may file an application for review of the Regional Director's Decision and Order with the Authority[.]" 5 C.F.R. § 2422.17(a). There is no indication in the record that the individuals participated as a "party" in the proceeding before the Regional Director.
On May 6, 1994, the Authority directed the individuals to show cause why their application for review should not be dismissed for lack of standing to file an application, and to correct certain procedural deficiencies.
The individuals filed a timely response to the Authority's Order. However, the individuals have failed to provide documentation to show that they participated as parties in this case.
As the individuals were not a party to the proceeding, the individuals are without standing under 5 C.F.R. § 2422.17(a) to file an application for review of the Regional Director's Decision and Order in the above-captioned case.
Accordingly, the individuals' application is dismissed.
For the Authority.
