                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By email dated April 12, 2019, appellant filed a notice of appeal challenging a
contracting officer's final decision dated April 12, 2019. Appellant's notice of appeal
was signed by Mr. John Morris, who was identified as appellant's project manager. The
Board docketed these appeals, listed Mr. Morris as appellant's representative, and
directed appellant by Order dated April 17, 2019 to show that its representative met the
requirements of Board Rule 15( a).

        By Order dated April 26, 2019, the Board again directed appellant to show that it
is represented by a person meeting the criteria of Board Rule 15(a). The April 26, 2019
Order stated that if appellant did not comply with the Order by May 10, 2019, the Board
may dismiss the appeals without further notice to the parties. On May 14, 2019
Mr. Morris sent the Board an email stating, "Starrag wishes to cancel the appeal of this
issue."

      A representative meeting the requirements of Rule 15(a) did not enter a notice of
appearance. Without a representative meeting the requirements of Rule 15(a), the Board
is unable to proceed. Accordingly, the appeals are dismissed.
