`
`
`Andrew P. Baxley, Interlocutory Attorney:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On March 22, 2006, the Board, noting applicant's
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`failure to comply with the Board's January 18, 2006 order by
`
`informing the Board of the status of applicant's bankruptcy
`
`proceeding, resumed proceedings herein and reset discovery
`
`and testimony periods.
`
`On September 8, 2006, the closing date of the discovery
`
`period as reset by the March 22, 2006 order, opposer filed a
`
`motion to extend discovery and testimony periods or to
`
`suspend proceedings to allow opposer time in which to locate
`
`someone who is authorized to act on applicant's behalf. In
`
`that motion, opposer states that is has been unable to
`
`contact applicant or any authorized representative thereof
`
`
`
`since being informed of applicant's bankruptcy proceeding in
`
`April 2002. No response to opposer's motion is of record.
`
`In view thereof, opposer's motion is granted to the
`
`extent that, except as noted herein, proceedings herein are
`
`suspended retroactive to September 8, 2006.
`
`
`
`Under the circumstances, the Board concludes that
`
`applicant may have lost interest in defending these
`
`consolidated oppositions. Accordingly, applicant is allowed
`
`until thirty days from the mailing date set forth in the
`
`caption of this order to show cause why default judgment
`
`should not be entered against applicant based on applicant's
`
`apparent loss of interest in this case.
