       Appellant filed its notice of appeal on May 23, 2019. The government moved to
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, alleging that appellant submitted its claim to
the contracting officer on May 10, 2019, and that this appeal is premature. In response,
appellant stated that it is amenable to dismissal without prejudice and that the
government is in agreement.

       By Order dated July 1, 2019, the Board advised the parties that the appeal would
be dismissed without prejudice unless either party objected within 14 days of the Order.
Neither party objected.

       Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed from the Board's docket without prejudice.
