__________________________________ 
CBCA 62 2 
When  the Department  of Transportation Board did  not receive appellant’s motion to 
dismiss  within a reasonable time, the Board inquired of appellant as to the status of the 
settlement.   From the information provided, the Board  was under the impression that, while 
the principal amount of the settlement of this  appeal had been paid, the interest had not been 
paid.   Consequently,  at appellant’s  request, this appeal was retained on the Board’s docket. 
On January 6, 2007, pursuant to statute, the Department  of Transportation Board of 
Contract  Appeals was terminated and its cases were transferred to t he newly established 
Civilian  Board of Contract Appeals.  This case was docketed by the new  Board as CBCA 62. 
During  a telephone conference on February 8, 2007, the  Civilian Board learned that 
the interest issue pertained not to this appeal, but to  two other cases that had been pending 
before  the Department of  Transportation Board, DOTBCA 4553 and  4566.  Those appeals 
were  settled  in June 2006.   On June 21, 2006, the Department of Transportation Board issued 
a decision awarding to SecTek, Inc. the sum of $4,494,635.68, plus interest.  On June 29, 
2006,  the Board forwarded its decision and other appropriate documentation to the 
Departme nt of the  Treasury for payment of the settlement amount, plus interest, from the 
judgment fund.   
SecTek’s  c ounsel has informed the Board that the principal settlement amount in 
DOTBCA 4553 and 4566 has been paid, but the interest on it has not been paid.  
While  the Civilian Board recognizes the serious nature of the interest is sue concerning 
DOTBCA   4553 a nd 4566, this i ssue is not a basis for retaining this appeal on the docket. 
Therefore,  on February 9, 2007, the Civilian Board ordered appellant to show cause why this 
appeal should not be dismissed in accordance with the settlement agreement. 
SecTek,  Inc. responded to the show cause  order on February 28, 2007,  stating that it 
has no objection to the dismissal of this appeal. 
Therefore,  this appeal  is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE in accordance  with the 
parties’ settlement agreement.
