ORDER ON REHEARING
Holderman, J.
This matter comes before the Court upon the motion of Claimant to vacate and petition for rehearing and Respondent’s motion to strike Claimant’s motion to vacate and petition for rehearing.
The substance of Claimant’s motion to vacate and petition for rehearing is that there was not a motion to dismiss pending before the Court at the time the Court entered its order of May 19, 1980. In order to clarify the situation and to remove any procedural questions, the Court now enters the following order:
That of its own motion, said cause shall be dismissed. The Court cites the case of Joliet Mass Transit District v. Illinois Fair Employment Practices Commission (1980), 85 Ill. App. 3d 270.
The Court, in its findings in the above case, reaffirmed the Board of Governors case and the SpringfieldSangamon case dealing with a similar situation and reiterated its previous finding “that the legislative intent was that the complaint be filed within 180 days of the •charge and that absent an extension of the 180 day period agreed to in writing by all parties, and approved of by a member of the EE PC, the filing of the complaint subsequent to the expiration of that time was unauthorized.”
Respondent’s motion to strike Claimant’s motion to vacate and petition for rehearing is hereby granted and this cause is dismissed.
