Synopsis Grievant grieved a written warning he received while he was employed by Respondent. Grievant did not assert he had lost any pay due to these issues. Following the filing of his grievance, but before the level three hearing, Grievant resigned. Respondent moved to dismiss the grievance asserting mootness due to Grievant’s resignation. Grievant did not object to the dismissal of the grievance and has not denied that he resigned his employment. Respondent proved the grievance is now moot. Accordingly, Respondent’s motion to dismiss should be granted, and this grievance, dismissed.
