2On June 3, 2015, the Tribunal issued a Delivery of Response and Notice of Request to Dismiss (“Notice”) directing the applicant to provide submissions on whether the issues in dispute are within exclusive federal jurisdiction.

3The applicant was directed to file submissions no later than June 17, 2015, and was warned that if he failed to file written submissions by the required deadline the Tribunal might consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application and dismiss the Application for that reason.

4The applicant has not responded to the Notice and the time for doing so has now passed.
