DISSENTING OPINION

(by J. Theodore Meyer):

I dissent from the majority order in this matter to note

that the Agency record was filed almost seven months

late.

Recently, several Agency records have been filed well past their

respective deadlines,

some being one or two years late,

without

any further explanation than “the press of Agency business”.

Although

I appreciate that the Agency’s current caseload places a

strain on its resources,

I believe it would be a simple task for

the Agency to communicate within the 14-day deadline why the

record must be late,

and request an extension of time to file

it.

For these reasons,

I respectfully dissent.
