as Third Party in Interest. the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen was advised of the pendency of this dispute, but it did not file a Submission with the Board.
There a no case before this Board because the party, which initially fded this claim on the property, withdrew it by letter directed to the Carrier under date of September 20,1993, following the Carrier's June 24, 1993 Notice of Intent to the Board We are aware of no authority which would empower or require this Board to now issue a ruling on the merits of this dispute. Because this subsequent event renders the claim moot it must be dismissed. See First Division Award 23955 and Third Division Awards 30700 through 30714. Form 1 Award No. 31865
