RESPONDENTS-APPELLEES

DISMISSAL OF APPEAL

The claimant has petitioned for review from the October 5, 2000 Finding and Dismissal of the Commissioner acting for the Fifth District. Subsequent to the filing of his appeal, the claimant’s claim was settled pursuant to a Full and Final Stipulation which was approved by the Commissioner acting for the Sixth District on February 21, 2001. As the claimant’s appeal is now moot, and the claimant has not withdrawn his appeal as requested, we therefore will dismiss the appeal. See Kovac v. Kecko Piping Company, 3806 CRB-4-98-4 (Oct. 2, 1998); Johnson v. Manchester Bus Service, Inc., 3863 CRB-1-98-8 (Aug. 5, 1998) (Dismissal of appeal where appeal became moot).

The appeal is therefore dismissed.
