Synopsis Respondent moved to dismiss this grievance, asserting mootness due to Grievant’s resignation from employment with the Respondent. Respondent persuasively asserted that there is no basis for this Board to entertain a grievance about denial of consideration for a promotion at an agency for which Grievant no longer works. Grievant did not file a response. His wife did inform the Board by phone that Grievant is employed elsewhere and does not wish to pursue the grievance. Respondent established that the grievance is now moot in that Grievant resigned from employment with the agency. Accordingly, Respondent’s motion to dismiss should be granted and this grievance dismissed.
