    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On October 17, 1996 the Board entered an order which granted complainants’
    motion for continuance to respond to AlliedSignal Inc.’s (AlliedSignal) September 16,
    1996 motion to dismiss. Complainants stated in their motion to continue that, due to
    the pending resolution of a similar action before the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency (USEPA), they might voluntarily dismiss the present action against
    AlliedSignal. The Board accordingly granted complainants’ motion to continue, and
    reserved ruling on all pending motions in this matter. The Board also directed
    complainants to file either a response to AlliedSignal’s motion, or a status report, by
    December 2, 1996.
    The Board has not yet received any filings from complainants. However, the
    Board received a notice of withdrawal of appearance by complainants’ attorney on
    December 11, 1996. Therefore, on or before January 21, 1997, the Board directs
    complainants to: (1) advise the Board in writing whether they will be appearing
    pro se
    in this matter (that is, prosecuting their own case without an attorney) or to have an
    attorney file an appearance on behalf of the complainants, and (2) file either a response
    to AlliedSignal’s motion to dismiss, or a status report.
    The Board also directs AlliedSignal to file a status report concerning the
    pending resolution of the similar action before the USEPA by January 21, 1997. The
    Board again reserves ruling on all pending motions in this matter.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member K.M. Hennessey abstained.
