ORDER

BY THE COMMISSION:

This matter arises under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C.     § 801 et seq. (2018) (“Mine Act”). Previously, Nevada Gold filed motions to reopen two penalty assessments that had become final orders of the Commission in Docket Nos. WEST 2019-0512-M and WEST 2019-0513-M,[1] pursuant to section 105(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. § 815(a). Nevada Gold has now informed the Commission that it has decided not to pursue its motions to reopen. Accordingly, Nevada Gold moves to withdraw its motions to reopen.

Having considered Nevada Gold’s motions to withdraw, we hereby grant its requests. Accordingly, this matter is dismissed.
