3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on October 13, 2006. On October 13, 2006, the Center transmitted by email to Google a request for registrar verification in connection with a dispute over the domain name <fancolac-diflucan-walmart.com>, the disputed domain name <fancolac-diflucan-walmart.com>, and a response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.
The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on October 14, 2006. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was October 26, 2006. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent’s default on October 28, 2006.
The Center appointed Dr. Andrew W. Wiltz as the sole panelist in this matter on November 12, 2006. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
The Panel has therefore received numerous unsolicited and inappropriate email communications from the Complainant and has evaluated and verified the Complaint in the absence of any Response. The Panel therefore concludes that the Complaint is being made in bad faith.
