DISMISSAL OF APPEAL
JOHN A. MASTROPIETRO, CHAIRMAN.

The respondent employer Connecticut Abatement Technologies has petitioned for review from the April 3, 2000 “Decision Re: Remand from CRB” of the Commissioner acting for the Fourth District. Subsequent to the filing of its appeal, the claimant’s claim was settled pursuant to a Full and Final Stipulation which was approved by the Commissioner acting for the Fourth District on June 26, 2001. As the appeal is now moot, and the respondent appellant has not withdrawn its appeal as requested, we therefore will dismiss the appeal. See Gawlik v. Stanley Hand Tools,4303 CRB-6-00-10 (June 6, 2001), citing Kovac v. Kecko Piping Company,3806 CRB-4-98-4 (Oct. 2, 1998); Johnson v. Manchester Bus Service, Inc.,3863 CRB-1-98-8 (Aug. 5, 1998).

The appeal is therefore dismissed.
