                                 ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       On January 10, 2022, appellant filed a notice of appeal from a contracting officer’s
final decision dated October 13, 2021 denying appellant’s certified claim dated June 17,
2021. Appellant’s notice of appeal indicated it wished to appeal both the government’s
denial of its June 17, 2021 certified claim, as well as a potential government claim
asserted in the same contracting officer’s final decision. On January 19 2022, the Board
docketed appellant’s notice of appeal as consolidated ASBCA Nos. 63156 (contractor
claim) and 63157 (government claim).

        On March 28, 2022, the government filed a motion to dismiss ASBCA No. 63157
without prejudice, stating that following dismissal it intends to “perfect its claim” against
appellant. Appellant does not oppose the government’s motion. Accordingly, the appeal
is dismissed without prejudice to appellant’s filing of a new notice of appeal in the event
that the government issues a new contracting officer’s final decision asserting a
government claim.
