After reviewing the record and the parties' appellate submissions, we conclude that the Judgment Officer committed no material error in dismissing the complaint in this matter and that the parties have not raised important questions of law or policy with respect to the Judgment Officer's determination that merit discussion. Accordingly, we affirm the Judgment Officer's Order of Dismissal with Prejudice, dated April 3, 1998.1
IT IS SO ORDERED.
