DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: November 1, 2013 Citation: 2013 HRTO 1843 Indexed as: Humphrey v. Community Living Huntsville

1The applicant filed an Application under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the "Code"), on December 13, 2011.

2In Interim Decision 2012 HRTO 1915 issued on October 2, 2012, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing related proceedings.

3On August 9, 2013 the Tribunal wrote to the applicant and respondent. The applicant was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the other proceedings remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when they were expected to be completed. The letter went on to warn the applicant that failure to provide the requested information might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned.

4The applicant did not respond to the Tribunal's August 9, 2013 letter. The Tribunal's letter to the applicant has not been returned as undeliverable. The Tribunal contacted the applicant by telephone and left a message for him to contact the Tribunal. The applicant did not respond to this telephone message. The applicant has not communicated with the Tribunal in any way.

5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
