ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR FAIL URE TO PROSECUTE 
By letter to the Board dated 20 November 2015, with supporting attachments, 
government counsel advised the Board that appellant's assets had been acquired by Fort 
Sill Apache Industries, 
LLC (FSA Industries) and that appellant's counsel had accepted a 
new position at a different business enterprise. 
By letter to appellant's counsel dated 23 November 2015, the Board ordered 
appellant's counsel to advise the Board whether she remained counsel of record in the 
appeal and whether the "appellant remains a corporate entity in pursuit of this appeal, or 
whether FSAIL or other successor entity currently is in pursuit of this appeal." Appellant 
was also copied on this Order at its last known business address. Neither appellant nor 
appellant's counsel responded 
to this Order. 
By letter to appellant's counsel dated 12 January 2016, the Board issued an Order 
to Show Cause, directing appellant to show cause, no later than 1 February 2016, why 
this appeal should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute. Appellant 
was also copied on this Order at its last known business address. Neither appellant nor 
appellant's counsel responded to this Order. 
By letter to FSA Industries dated 2 February 2016, the Board ordered FSA to 
contact the Board in writing, no later than 1 March 2016, if it was the successor to 
appellant and wished to prosecute this appeal on its behalf. The Order concluded as 
follows: "If the Board does not hear from you by 1 March 2016, it may DISMISS THIS 

APPEAL WITH PREJUDICE FOR FAIL URE TO PROSECUTE WITHOUT 
FURTHER NOTICE." FSA Industries did not respond to this Order. 
In view of the foregoing ASBCA No. 59446 is hereby dismissed with prejudice 
for failure to prosecute, under Board Rule 17.
