                      ORDER AND OPINION TERMINATING PROCEEDING

               On March 30, 1988, the above-named petitioner-tenant, timely 
          filed a petition for administrative review against an order issued 
          on March 22, 1988 by the District Rent Administrator, 55 Church 
          Street, White Plains, N.Y., concerning the above-named 
          accommodations.

               The Commissioner finds that subsequent to the filing of this 
          Petition, the Petitioner failed to respond to the Division's two 
          written inquiries (dated September 15, 1993 and November 18, 1993) 
          as to whether there is still an active issue to be determined with 
          respect to said Petition.

               The Commissioner finds that the proceeding brought on by the 
          filing of the instant Petition and assigned Docket Number 
          CC830135RO should be terminated as moot.

               THEREFORE, pursuant to all of the applicable statutes and 
          regulations, it is 

               ORDERED, that this proceeding be, and the same hereby is, 
          terminated.

          ISSUED:
