    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Goodman):
    On April
    9,
    1979,
    the Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency) filed a Motion for Sanctions requesting sanctions
    against The Celotex Corp.
    (Celotex),
    The Agency alleged that
    Celotex had violated an Order
    ot~
    the Hearing Officer by not
    answering Interrogatories nor producing requested documents.
    The Agency also filed
    a Motion requesting the Hearing Officer
    to close discovery and set a date for hearing.
    Celotex filed
    an Opposition to Motion for Sanctions
    on April
    12,
    1979,
    and
    the Agency filed a Motion to Strike Celotex’s Opposition on
    April 11,
    1979.
    On April
    17,
    1979,
    an Order of the Hearing
    Officer was filed with the Board.
    That Order addresses sev-
    eral issues
    raised by the parties
    in the various pleadings
    before us and orders that discovery be closed at 4:00 p.m.
    on
    April
    27, 1979,
    Because
    a controversy existed as to whether the parties
    had fulfilled their obligations under the Hearing Officer’s
    January 23,
    1979, Order, which controversy has now been re-
    solved by the Hearing Officer’s April
    17 Order,
    the Board
    finds that sanctions are not warranted,
    The Motion for
    Sanc-
    tions
    is hereby denied.
