The Notice provided that the parties would participate remotely, in pertinent part, as follows:

(Emphasis in original.)

On March 23, 2022, OAH received a Motion to Continue from Complainant. The motion was granted. The hearing was reset for 1:30 p.m. on May 04, 2022. Correspondence was not returned as undeliverable from either party.

On April 01, 2022, OAH received a Motion to Continue from Complainant. A request for information was issued to Complainant. Complainant failed to respond.

On May 03, 2022, OAH received a Motion to Vacate from Respondent, along with an attachment that alleged the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement.
