_ORDER ENTERED UPON SECRETARY'S MOTION TO DISMISS NOTICE OF CONTEST_

Respondent, Mark Ciullo Construction Co., Inc. (Ciullo Construction),
was cited on November 10, 1988, for alleged serious (citation number 1)
and nonserious (citation number 2) violations of several construction

file an answer by February 27, 1989. To date the answer has yet to be filed.

On March 9, 1989, the Secretary served and filed a motion to dismiss the
notice of contest for failure to answer the Secretary's complaint. There
being no response in any manner to the Secretary's motion to dismiss, it is
ORDERED that the Secretary's Motion to dismiss the notice of contest is
granted. It is further
ORDERED that the notice of contest is dismissed, the citations are
affirmed, and penalties are assessed in the total amount of $1,500.
