SUMMARY BINDING DECISION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE WOODROW 
By agreement dated 14 June 2016, the parties elected to have this matter 
considered and decided through a summary proceeding with binding decision pursuant to 
the Board's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures. The parties have agreed 
that the Board's "decision shall be final, conclusive, not subject to reconsideration or 
appeal, and may not be set aside, except for fraud or misconduct" (ADR Agreement 
~ 15). This decision will have no precedential value. 
The Board conducted a three-day evidentiary hearing on 21 June 2016. Each party 
was represented by counsel and had the opportunity to present evidence and testimony to 
the Board, and to cross-examine witnesses presented by the opposing party. 
DECISION 
The Board has carefully considered the testimony of the witnesses, the documents 
in the Rule 4 file, and the contentions of the parties in their pre-hearing briefs and at the 
conclusion of the hearing. We find that Brigadier General Blake's statement that he 
would "pay Safi's costs" is not sufficient to create an implied-in-fact contract to pay 
appellant's incurred costs. In addition, we find that LTC Willingham did not ratify an 

I j 
unauthorized agreement to pay appellant's incurred costs. Therefore, the appeals are 
denied.
