                OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE STEMPLER
               ON APPELLANT'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

         Appellant has submitted an email dated 8 October 2014 1 that we interpret as a
motion for reconsideration of our 7 August 2014 dismissal of this appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. 2 Board records establish that appellant received the Board's 7 August
2014 decision (that was sent by emai1 3) no later than 7 August 2014. Board Rule 20
(revised 21 July 2014) requires the filing of a motion for reconsideration within
30 days of receipt of the decision for which reconsideration is sought (as did prior
Rule 29). Appellant's motion was not filed within that 30-day time limit and must be
dismissed as untimely. Program and Construction Management Group, Inc., ASBCA
No. 47048, 95-1BCA~27,413, aff'd, 64 F.3d 676 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (per curiam)
(table).

1
  Stating, inter alia, that he had not been in his office due to illness.
2
  Judge Lopes, who authored the 7 August 2014 Opinion, is no longer a member of the
        Board.
3
  The Board routinely sends decisions to litigants in Iraq and Afghanistan by email due
        to the absence of a functioning mail system.
      Appellant's motion for reconsideration is dismissed.

      Dated: 10 October 2014
