                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By letter dated April 21, 2019, Mr. Jean Sernaque filed a notice of appeal which
the Board docketed as ASBCA No. 62069. The letter included a contact email address
and telephone number. The mailing address was identified on the envelope.

       The Board attempted to call Mr. Sernaque with the telephone number listed in the
notice of appeal on July 30 and July 31, 2019. Both call attempts resulted in a recording
stating that the voice mailbox was full.

       By Order dated August 1, 2019, appellant was directed to show that it is
represented in this appeal by a person who meets the criteria of Board Rule I5(a), or to
designate a proper person as its representative no later than August 15, 2019. The Order
was sent to the email address provided on appellant's notice of appeal. The Board did
not receive a response from appellant.

       By Show Cause Order dated September 3, 2019, the Board ordered appellant to
show that it is represented in these proceedings by a person meeting the criteria of Board
Rule 15(a), or designate a proper person to represent it no later than September 17, 2019.
The Order stated that if appellant did not comply, the Board intended to dismiss this
appeal without further notice to the parties. The Order was sent to appellant via certified
mail and email to the addresses provided in the notice of appeal. The Board received no
response to the Show Cause Order.
       To date, no response has been received to the Board's August 1 and September 3
Orders. Since the Board cannot proceed without a representative meeting the
requirements of Board Rule 15(a), this appeal is dismissed.
