            OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE SHACKLEFORD
         ON APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

       On September 30, 2020, we dismissed this appeal for lack of jurisdiction because
the claim lacked a sum certain as required by the Contract Disputes Act. Appellant filed
a document we deemed a motion for reconsideration on October 2, 2020. We denied this
first motion for reconsideration on December 29, 2020. Appellant emailed again on
January 1, 2021, and January 19, 2021, and we deemed these emails to constitute a
second motion for reconsideration. The government has declined to file a response.

        The Board’s Rules do not provide for a second motion for reconsideration.
Accordingly, we deny appellant’s motion. The Recorder is instructed not to accept further
filings by appellant relative to this appeal. See Quality Trust, Inc., ASBCA No. 59983,
16-1 BCA ¶ 36,529 at 177,948.
