ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL 
 
 On October 29, 2020, the government filed a motion for partial dismissal.  
Appellant’s notice of appeal of a termination for cause included a “total amount in 
dispute” of approximately $323,000.  Appellant had not filed a certified claim for the 
$323,000.  On January 12, 2021, appellant responded to the motion agreeing to the 
partial dismissal.  Accordingly, that portion of the appeal relating to the $323,000 is 
dismissed without prejudice.  The government’s termination for cause remains before 
the Board.
